A subdomain is part of a web address which is under the main domain, such as name.example.com. Technically, even in www.example.com the "www" part is a subdomain given that the fully qualified domain name is just "example.com". Every subdomain can have its own web site and records and can also be hosted with a different company if you need to use a feature that's not offered by your current service provider. A good example for using a subdomain is if you have a company site along with an online store under a subdomain where clients can buy your products. In addition, you can have a forum in which they can comment on the products and by employing subdomains instead of subfolders you'll avoid any chance of all websites going down if you perform maintenance, or update one of the website scripts. Keeping your sites separated is more secure in case of a script security breach.

Subdomains in Cloud Website Hosting

When you obtain a cloud website hosting plan through our company, you'll be able to create subdomains with ease using your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. We have decided not to limit their amount, so in case you host only 1 domain in the account, you will be able to create as many subdomains as you wish and have a different website for every one of them. During the creation of a subdomain, you are able to pick the folder within the account that it will open, set up customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions and error logs, select a server shared IP address or a dedicated one if you have such, and a lot more. All hosted domain names and the subdomains you create for them are going to be conveniently listed in alphabetical order in one spot and you are going to be able to gain access to many functions for every one of them through right-click context menus - records, files, etc.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you purchase a semi-dedicated server package, you will be able to create as many subdomains as you want as this feature is unlimited. Considering that the hosting packages are rather powerful, we've decided not to put any cap on the number of subdomains. Our state-of-the-art Hepsia Control Panel will permit you to create a new subdomain with no more than a few mouse clicks, to pick which folder it will access inside the account, to enable FrontPage Extensions for it, to create unique error pages, to create a shared or a dedicated IP address if you have one, and more. For your convenience, all the subdomains will be listed under their root domain, so you can easily see and manage them. Through quick access links, you'll be able to open the website files for each of the subdomains that you have or view its DNS records.
