A subdomain is part of a web address that is under the main domain name, for instance name.example.com. From a technical perspective, even in www.example.com the "www" part is a subdomain since the fully qualified domain name is just "example.com". Every subdomain could have its own site and records and can also be hosted with a different company if you need to use some feature that's not offered by your current provider. An example for using a subdomain is if you have a business site and an online store under a subdomain where clients can acquire your products. You can even have a forum where they can discuss the products and by employing subdomains as opposed to subfolders you'll avoid any probability of all sites going down when you perform maintenance, or update one of the website scripts. Keeping the sites separated is also less risky in case there is a script security breach.

Subdomains in Cloud Hosting

If you get a cloud hosting package through us, you'll be able to create subdomains easily through your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. We have decided not to limit their amount, so even when you host only 1 domain in the account, you will be able to create as many subdomains as you would like and have a different site for every single one. During the creation of a subdomain, you are able to select the folder in the account that it's going to open, create personalized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions and error logs, pick a server shared IP address or a dedicated one if you have such, and much more. All hosted domain addresses and the subdomains you create for them will be conveniently listed in alphabetical order in one place and you are going to be able to gain access to a lot of functions for every single one of them with right-click context menus - records, files, etc.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our semi-dedicated hosting plans do not have a set limit for the amount of subdomains that you can create. Adding a new subdomain inside the account takes only a few clicks inside the Hepsia hosting CP and in the process you can pick the folder the subdomain will access if it is going to be different from the default one, set up tailor-made error pages, enable FrontPage Extensions if you need them or set a dedicated IP address as opposed to the shared server one if you have added this upgrade to your semi-dedicated account. Once the subdomain is set up, you'll be able to access logs and visitor statistics or you can quickly jump to the website files for it in the File Manager area via fast access buttons. All subdomains that you've got within the account are going to be conveniently listed under their root domain, so you are going to be able to find and handle any of them effortlessly.
