A subdomain is part of a web address that is under the main domain, for instance name.example.com. Technically, even in www.example.com the "www" part is a subdomain because the fully qualified domain name is just "example.com". Each subdomain can have its own website and records and can also be hosted through a different provider if you want to use a feature that is not provided by your current service provider. An example for using a subdomain is if you have a company site as well as an online store under a subdomain where customers can buy your products. In addition, you can have a forum in which they can comment on the products and by using subdomains instead of subfolders you'll avoid any chance of all sites going down if you perform maintenance, or update one of the site scripts. Keeping your websites separated is also more secure in case of a script security breach.
Subdomains in Website Hosting
Our website hosting plans will enable you to create hundreds of subdomains for every domain address hosted in your account without any difficulty. Assuming that the main domain address is added, it will take two clicks to create a subdomain and select what folder it will open (if different from the default one), create custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions, set a shared IP address or a dedicated one, plus much more. All subdomains will be conveniently listed in alphabetical order under their main domain for effortless access and administration. By right-clicking on any one of them and by using instant access buttons you can see the error logs, visitor statistics or website files for that specific subdomain. We haven't set a limit for the total number of subdomains you can create with any one of our plans, so you can have as many as you wish.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers
You’re able to create as many subdomains as you want with any of our semi-dedicated servers since we haven't set a maximum limit for this feature. The Hepsia hosting CP will allow you to add a new subdomain with a few mouse clicks and you'll be able to access a variety of advanced features during the process - modify the default access folder, select the IP address the subdomain will use from the shared and dedicated ones which are provided in your account, activate FrontPage Extensions, add an SSL certificate, and more. Even if you create a large number of subdomains, you will be able to keep track of all of them with ease since they are going to be listed in alphabetical order below their main domain. For any of them, you can even access the website files or check out logs and usage stats using fast access buttons.
