A subdomain is a part of a web address which is under the main domain name, for instance name.example.com. Technically, even in www.example.com the "www" element is a subdomain because the fully qualified domain name is only "example.com". Every single subdomain could have its own site and records and can also be hosted using a different company if you want 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 business site and an online store under a subdomain where clients can acquire your products. You can also have a forum where they can comment on the products and by using subdomains as opposed to subfolders you'll avoid any risk of all websites going down when you perform maintenance, or update one of the site scripts. Keeping your websites separated is also more secure in case there is a script security breach.

Subdomains in Cloud Hosting

Our cloud hosting packages will permit you to create numerous subdomains for every domain address hosted within your account without any difficulty. If the main domain is added, it requires two mouse clicks to set up a subdomain and choose what folder it will open (if different from the default one), create custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions, set a shared IP address or a dedicated one, and more. All subdomains are going to be conveniently listed in alphabetical order under their main domain for easy access and administration. By right-clicking on any one of them and by using instant access buttons you can see the error logs, visitor statistics or website files for that particular subdomain. We have not set a restriction for the amount of subdomains you can create with any one of our plans, so you can have as many as you want.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers

You are able to create as many subdomains as you want with any one of our semi-dedicated servers as we have not set a maximum limit for this feature. The Hepsia website hosting CP will allow you to add a new subdomain with a few mouse clicks and you will be able to access a number of advanced features during the process - replace the default access folder, choose the IP address the subdomain will use from the shared and dedicated ones which are offered in your account, activate FrontPage Extensions, add an SSL certificate, plus much more. Even if you create a large number of subdomains, you will be able to keep track of them with ease because they are going to be listed in alphabetical order below their main domain. For every single one of them, you can also access the website files or see logs and usage stats via quick access buttons.
