A subdomain is a part of a web address that's under the main domain name, for instance name.example.com. Actually, even in www.example.com the "www" element is a subdomain because the fully qualified domain name is only "example.com". Each subdomain could have its own website and records and can also be hosted through a different company if you want to use some feature that is not provided by your current service provider. One example for using a subdomain is if you have a company site as well as an online store under a subdomain where clients can acquire your products. Additionally, you can have a forum where they can talk about the products and by using subdomains as opposed to subfolders you will avoid any risk of all websites going down when you perform maintenance, or update one of the site scripts. Keeping the websites separated is less risky in the case of a script security breach.

Subdomains in Website Hosting

When you buy a website hosting package from us, you're going to be able to create subdomains effortlessly through your Hepsia website hosting CP. We've decided not to limit their number, so even if you host just one domain address in the account, you are going to be able to create as many subdomains as you want and have a different site for every single one of them. During the creation of a subdomain, you are able to pick the folder within the account that it's going to open, create custom 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 domains and the subdomains that you create for them are going to be conveniently listed in alphabetical order in one place and you'll be able to gain access to a lot of functions for each one of them through right-click context menus - records, files, etc.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our semi-dedicated hosting plans haven't got a set limit for the number of subdomains that you can create. Adding a new subdomain within the account takes only a couple of mouse clicks within the Hepsia website hosting CP and in the process you can pick the folder the subdomain is going to access if it is going to 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 rather than the shared server one provided you have added such an upgrade to your semi-dedicated account. As soon as the subdomain is created, you'll be able to access logs and visitor stats or you can quickly jump to the website files for it within the File Manager area through fast access buttons. All subdomains that you have in the account will be conveniently listed under their root domain, so you are going to be able to find and handle any of them effortlessly.
