A subdomain is a part of a web address that is under the main domain, for example name.example.com. Actually, even in www.example.com the "www" part is a subdomain because the fully qualified domain name is only "example.com". Every single subdomain can have its own site and records and can even be hosted with a different provider if you wish to use a specific feature that isn't provided by your current 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 acquire your products. You can also have a forum where they can comment on the products and by employing subdomains as an alternative to subfolders you'll avoid any risk of all websites going down if you perform maintenance, or update one of the site scripts. Keeping your websites separated is also less risky in case there is a script security breach.

Subdomains in Shared Website Hosting

Each shared website hosting plan that we supply will enable you to create hundreds of subdomains with no more than a couple of mouse clicks within your hosting CP. They are going to be listed in the area in which you create them and grouped under the main domain for more convenience, to help you effortlessly keep an eye on all of them. In addition, you can access many functions for any of the subdomains through right-click context menus - for example, you can view or modify their DNS records, access the website files, and much more. While creating a new subdomain, you're also going to have a number of options that you can select from - determine the default access folder, set customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or pick if the subdomain will use a shared or a dedicated IP address. What number of subdomains you will have is 100 % 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 haven't got a restriction for the amount of subdomains that you can create. Adding a new subdomain in the account takes only a few clicks inside the Hepsia web hosting CP and in the process you can select the folder the subdomain will access if it will be different from the default one, set up custom-made error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions if you need them or create a dedicated IP address as opposed to the shared server one if you have added this upgrade to your semi-dedicated account. Once the subdomain is set up, you'll be able to access logs and visitor stats or easily jump to the site files for it within the File Manager section via quick access buttons. All subdomains that you have within the account will be conveniently listed under their root domain, so you'll be able to find and manage any of them with ease.
