A subdomain is part of a web address that's under the main domain, for instance name.example.com. Technically, even in www.example.com the "www" element is a subdomain given that the fully qualified domain name is just "example.com". Every single subdomain can have its own website and records and can even be hosted with a different provider if you need to use some feature that's not offered by your current service provider. An example for using a subdomain is if you have a business website and an online store under a subdomain where clients can buy your products. In addition, you can have a forum where they can comment on the products and by employing subdomains instead of subfolders you'll avoid any chance of all sites going down when you perform maintenance, or update one of the website scripts. Keeping your websites separated is less risky in the case of a script security breach.

Subdomains in Cloud Hosting

With our cloud hosting packages you will be able to create subdomains with just a couple of clicks in your hosting CP. All of them will be listed in a single location along with the domain addresses hosted in the account and grouped under their own domain to help make their administration simpler. Whatever the plan that you select, you'll be able to create numerous subdomains and set their access folder or set up custom error pages along the way. Additionally, you'll have access to many functions for any of them with just a click, so from the exact same section where you create them you can access their DNS records, files, visitor statistics, etc. Unlike other providers, we haven't limited the number of subdomains that you can have even if you host only one domain address inside the account.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you buy a semi-dedicated server package, you're going to be able to create as many subdomains as you'd like since this feature is unrestricted. For the reason that the web hosting plans are rather powerful, we've decided not to put any restriction on the number of subdomains. Our advanced Hepsia Control Panel will allow you to create a new subdomain with no more than a couple of clicks, to pick which folder it'll access inside the account, to enable FrontPage Extensions for it, to set up custom error pages, to set a shared or a dedicated IP address if you have one, and a lot more. For your convenience, all of the subdomains will be listed under their root domain, allowing you to easily see and manage them. Through instant access links, you will also be able to open the site files for each of the subdomains that you have or check out its DNS records.
