A subdomain is a part of a web address that's under the main domain name, for example name.example.com. From a technical perspective, even in www.example.com the "www" element is a subdomain since the fully qualified domain name is only "example.com". Every subdomain can have its own web site and records and can even be hosted with a different provider if you need to use some feature that is not offered by your current service provider. One example for using a subdomain is if you have a company site and an online store under a subdomain where clients can buy your products. In addition, you can have a forum where they can comment on the products and by employing subdomains rather than subfolders you will avoid any probability of all sites going down when you perform maintenance, or update one of the site scripts. Keeping the sites separated is more secure in the case of a script security breach.

Subdomains in Website Hosting

When you acquire a website hosting plan from our company, you're going to be able to create subdomains effortlessly through your Hepsia website hosting Control Panel. We have decided not to limit their number, so even when you host just one domain address in the account, you'll be able to create as many subdomains as you wish and have a different site for every single one. During the creation of a subdomain, you'll be able to select the folder inside the account that it's going to open, set up custom 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 domains and the subdomains you create for them are going to be conveniently listed in alphabetical order in one location and you will be able to gain access to many functions for every single one of them with right-click context menus - records, files, etc.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Our Linux semi-dedicated packages haven't got a restriction for the number of subdomains you can create. Adding a new subdomain in the account takes only a few clicks inside the Hepsia hosting CP and throughout the process you can choose the folder the subdomain is going to access if it is going to be different from the default one, set up custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions if you need them or set a dedicated IP address as opposed to the shared server one provided you have added this upgrade to your semi-dedicated account. After the subdomain is created, you can access logs and visitor statistics or you can easily jump to the website files for it within the File Manager section using instant access buttons. All subdomains that you've got in the account will be conveniently listed under their root domain, so you're going to be able to find and handle every single one of them with ease.
