A subdomain is part of a web address that is under the main domain name, for instance name.example.com. Actually, even in www.example.com the "www" element is a subdomain since the fully qualified domain name is only "example.com". Each subdomain can have its own site and records and can even be hosted using a different company if you want to use a certain feature which is not provided by your current service provider. A good example for using a subdomain is if you have a company website along with an online store under a subdomain where customers can purchase your products. You can even have a forum in which they can talk about the products and by employing subdomains rather than subfolders you are going to avoid any probability of all websites going down if you perform maintenance, or update one of the website scripts. Keeping your websites separated is also more secure in the event of a script security breach.

Subdomains in Website Hosting

Each and every website hosting plan which we offer will allow you to create numerous subdomains with no more than a couple of mouse clicks inside your hosting Control Panel. They'll all be listed in the section in which you create them and grouped under the main domain for more convenience, so that you're able to very easily keep an eye on every one of them. Additionally, you can access many functions for any one of the subdomains through right-click context menus - for example, you can view or edit their DNS records, access the site files, and a lot more. While setting up a new subdomain, you're also going to have lots of options that you can choose from - specify the default access folder, create custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or choose if the subdomain is going to use a shared or a dedicated IP address. The amount of subdomains you are going to have is 100 % up to you since we have not restricted this feature for any one of our plans.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our semi-dedicated hosting plans do not have a limit for the number of subdomains which you can create. Adding a new subdomain within the account takes only a couple of clicks within the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel and throughout the process you can pick the folder the subdomain will access if it will be different from the default one, set up custom-made error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions if you need them or set a dedicated IP address as opposed to the shared server one in case you have added such an upgrade to your semi-dedicated account. Once the subdomain is created, you can access logs and visitor stats or you can easily jump to the website files for it in the File Manager section via fast access buttons. All subdomains that you have inside the account are going to be conveniently listed under their root domain, so you'll be able to find and manage every single one of them effortlessly.
