A subdomain is part of a web address which is under the main domain name, for example 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 web site and records and can even be hosted with a different provider if you want to use a feature which isn't offered by your current provider. An example for using a subdomain is if you have a business website along with an online store under a subdomain where clients can buy your products. In addition, you can have a forum in which they can comment on the products and by using subdomains instead of subfolders you are going to avoid any probability of all sites going down if you perform maintenance, or update one of the site scripts. Keeping your sites separated is also less risky in the event of a script security breach.

Subdomains in Shared Website Hosting

When you use shared website hosting packages you will be able to create subdomains with a couple of clicks in your website hosting CP. All of them will be listed in a single location together with the domain names hosted in the account and arranged under their own domain to help make their administration simpler. Whatever the plan that you choose, you'll be able to create many subdomains and set their access folder or set up custom error pages during the process. Additionally, you'll have access to lots of functions for any of them with just a click, so from the same section where you create them you can access their DNS records, files, visitor statistics, etc. In contrast to other companies, we have not limited the amount of subdomains you can have even if you host only one domain address within the account.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers

You can create as many subdomains as you wish with any of our semi-dedicated plans since we have not set a maximum limit for this feature. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel will permit you to add a new subdomain with just a few mouse clicks and you are going to be able to access a number of advanced features during the process - modify the default access folder, pick the IP address the subdomain will use from the shared and dedicated ones which are available in your account, activate FrontPage Extensions, add an SSL certificate, plus much more. Even if you create a great number of subdomains, you'll be able to keep track of all of them with ease because they will be listed in alphabetical order under their main domain. For every single one of them, you can even access the web site files or see logs and usage statistics through quick access buttons.
