A subdomain is a part of a web address that's under the main domain name, such as name.example.com. From a technical perspective, even in www.example.com the "www" element is a subdomain because the fully qualified domain name is only "example.com". Every single subdomain can have its own web site and records and can also be hosted using a different provider if you wish to use a feature that's not offered by your current provider. One example for using a subdomain is if you have a company website and an online store under a subdomain where clients can acquire your products. Additionally, you can have a forum in which they can discuss the products and by using subdomains as opposed to subfolders you will avoid any risk of all sites going down if you perform maintenance, or update one of the site scripts. Keeping your sites separated is more secure in case of a script security breach.

Subdomains in Shared Website Hosting

When you buy a shared website hosting plan through our company, you will be able to create subdomains easily via your Hepsia hosting CP. We have decided not to restrict their amount, so in case you host just one domain in the account, you will be able to create as many subdomains as you wish and have a different site for every one. During the creation of a subdomain, you are able to choose the folder in the account that it'll open, set up custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions and error logs, choose a server shared IP address or a dedicated one if you have such, plus much more. All hosted domain names and the subdomains you create for them are going to be conveniently listed in alphabetical order in one place and you will be able to gain access to numerous functions for each one of them through right-click context menus - records, files, etc.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our Linux semi-dedicated hosting plans haven't got a limit for the amount of subdomains that you can create. Adding a new subdomain inside the account takes only a couple of mouse clicks in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and in the process you can select the folder the subdomain will access if it will be different from the default one, create custom-made error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions if you need them or create a dedicated IP address rather than the shared server one if you have added such an upgrade to your semi-dedicated account. Once the subdomain is created, you'll be able to access logs and visitor stats or you can swiftly jump to the website files for it inside the File Manager section by using instant access buttons. All subdomains that you've got in the account are going to be conveniently listed under their root domain, so you'll be able to find and control any one of them with ease.
