A subdomain is a part of a web address that's under the main domain, for instance 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 just "example.com". Every subdomain could have its own website and records and can even be hosted using a different provider if you need to use a certain feature that's not offered by your current provider. An illustration for using a subdomain is if you have a business site as well as an online store under a subdomain where customers can purchase your products. You can even have a forum where they can discuss the products and by using subdomains instead of subfolders you will avoid any chance of all sites going down when you perform maintenance, or update one of the site scripts. Keeping the websites separated is less risky in the event of a script security breach.

Subdomains in Website Hosting

If you buy a website hosting plan through us, you will be able to create subdomains with ease via your Hepsia website hosting Control Panel. We have decided not to restrict their number, so in case you host only one domain name in the account, you are going to be able to create as many subdomains as you would like and have a different website for every single one. During the creation of a subdomain, you are able to select the folder within the account that it will 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 more. All hosted domain names and the subdomains you create for them are going to be conveniently listed in alphabetical order in one place and you'll be able to access a lot of functions for every one of them through right-click context menus - records, files, etc.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers

Using our semi-dedicated server plans, you are going to be able to create an unlimited number of subdomains for any of the domains which you add as hosted in the account. It's going to take a couple of clicks to set up a new subdomain and in the process you will be able to add custom error pages for it, decide if it will use a shared or a dedicated IP address, change the default folder that it's going to access or activate FrontPage Extensions. All subdomains you've got within the account will be arranged under their root domain in alphabetical order and you'll be able to see and control them without difficulty. Through fast access buttons and right-click menus you'll also be able to jump to the site files in the File Manager section or see logs, visitor statistics and other info about any of your subdomains.
