A subdomain is a part of a web address which is under the main domain name, for instance name.example.com. From a technical perspective, even in www.example.com the "www" element is a subdomain since the fully qualified domain name is only "example.com". Every single subdomain could have its own site and records and can also be hosted through a different provider if you need to use a feature which is not offered by your current provider. One example for using a subdomain is if you have a business website along with an online store under a subdomain where customers can purchase your products. Additionally, you can have a forum in which they can discuss the products and by using subdomains as opposed to 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 more secure in case of a script security breach.

Subdomains in Cloud Website Hosting

Each cloud website hosting package that we supply will allow you to create numerous subdomains with no more than a few clicks in your hosting Control Panel. They'll all be listed in the area in which you create them and arranged under the main domain for more convenience, so you can easily keep tabs on them all. Additionally, you can access lots of functions for any of the subdomains using right-click context menus - for example, you can view or modify their DNS records, access the website files, and much more. While setting up a new subdomain, you will also have lots of options that you can select from - specify the default access folder, create customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or pick if the subdomain will use a shared or a dedicated IP address. The number of subdomains you will have is totally up to you since we have not restricted this feature for any one of our plans.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our Linux semi-dedicated servers don't have a limit for the number of subdomains you can create. Adding a new subdomain in the account takes just a couple of mouse clicks within the Hepsia web hosting CP and throughout the process you can select the folder the subdomain is going to access if it will be different from the default one, set up customized error pages, enable FrontPage Extensions if you need them or create a dedicated IP address instead of the shared server one in case you have added this upgrade to your semi-dedicated account. As soon as the subdomain is created, you can access logs and visitor statistics or easily jump to the website files for it inside the File Manager area through quick access buttons. All subdomains you've got inside the account will be conveniently listed under their root domain, so you're going to be able to find and manage any of them effortlessly.
