A subdomain is part of a web address which is under the main domain, for instance name.example.com. Actually, even in www.example.com the "www" part is a subdomain given that the fully qualified domain name is just "example.com". Every single subdomain could have its own website and records and can also be hosted using a different provider if you want to use some feature that isn't provided by your current service provider. A good example for using a subdomain is if you have a company website as well as an online store under a subdomain where customers can buy your products. Additionally, you can have a forum in which they can talk about the products and by employing subdomains instead of subfolders you will avoid any chance of all websites going down if you perform maintenance, or update one of the site scripts. Keeping the websites separated is less risky in case there is a script security breach.

Subdomains in Website Hosting

When you get a website hosting plan from us, you'll be able to create subdomains easily using your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. We've decided not to restrict their number, so in case you host only 1 domain address in the account, you are going to be able to create as many subdomains as you wish and have a different website for each and every one. During the creation of a subdomain, you'll be able to choose the folder inside the account that it will 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 a lot more. All hosted domain addresses 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 a lot of functions for every single one of them with right-click context menus - records, files, etc.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Our Linux semi-dedicated hosting don't have a restriction for the amount of subdomains you can create. Adding a new subdomain within the account takes just a few mouse clicks inside the Hepsia web hosting CP and throughout the process you can pick the folder the subdomain is going to access if it is going to be different from the default one, create custom-made error pages, enable FrontPage Extensions if you need them or create a dedicated IP address rather than the shared server one provided you have added this upgrade to your semi-dedicated account. When the subdomain is set up, you'll be able to access logs and visitor statistics or easily jump to the website files for it inside the File Manager section using instant access buttons. All subdomains that you've got within the account are going to be conveniently listed under their root domain, so you're going to be able to find and manage any one of them effortlessly.
