A subdomain is a part of a web address that's under the main domain, for instance 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 just "example.com". Each subdomain can have its own site and records and can also be hosted with a different company if you wish to use a specific feature that isn't offered by your current provider. An illustration for using a subdomain is if you have a business site as well as an online store under a subdomain where clients can purchase your products. You can even have a forum where they can discuss the products and by employing subdomains as an alternative to subfolders you'll avoid any probability of all websites going down if you perform maintenance, or update one of the website scripts. Keeping your sites separated is also more secure in case of a script security breach.

Subdomains in Shared Web Hosting

Every shared web hosting plan we provide will enable you to create many subdomains with no more than a few mouse clicks inside your website hosting CP. They will all be listed in the area where you create them and arranged under the main domain for more convenience, to help you effortlessly monitor every one of them. Furthermore, you can access a lot of functions for any one of the subdomains through right-click context menus - as an example, you can view or modify their DNS records, access the website files, and much more. While setting up a new subdomain, you'll also have numerous options that you can select from - specify the default access folder, set customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or select if the subdomain is going to use a shared or a dedicated IP address. The number of subdomains you will have is completely up to you since we haven't restricted this feature for any of our packages.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting

When you purchase a semi-dedicated server plan, you'll be able to create as many subdomains as you want as this feature is unrestricted. For the reason that the website hosting plans are rather powerful, we have decided not to put any cap on the amount of subdomains. Our advanced Hepsia CP will allow you to create a new subdomain with no more than a couple of mouse clicks, to pick which folder it is going to access within the account, to activate FrontPage Extensions for it, to create unique error pages, to create a shared or a dedicated IP address if you have one, and a lot more. For your convenience, all the subdomains will be listed under their root domain, allowing you to very easily see and handle them. With fast access links, you'll also be able to open the website files for each of the subdomains that you have or view its DNS records.
