A subdomain is part of a web address that is under the main domain name, such as name.example.com. From a technical perspective, even in www.example.com the "www" part is a subdomain since the fully qualified domain name is only "example.com". Each subdomain can have its own site and records and can also be hosted using a different company if you want to use a certain feature that's not provided by your current service provider. One example for using a subdomain is if you have a business site along with an online store under a subdomain where clients can purchase your products. You can also have a forum in which they can discuss the products and by using subdomains rather than subfolders you will avoid any risk of all websites going down when you perform maintenance, or update one of the website scripts. Keeping your sites separated is also less risky in case there is a script security breach.
Subdomains in Shared Website Hosting
When you purchase a shared website hosting plan through us, you will be able to create subdomains effortlessly through your Hepsia hosting CP. We have decided not to limit their number, so even if you host only one domain address in the account, you are going to be able to create as many subdomains as you wish and have a different site for each and every one of them. During the creation of a subdomain, you are able to pick the folder within the account that it'll open, set up custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions and error logs, pick a server shared IP address or a dedicated one if you have such, plus much more. All hosted domains and the subdomains you create for them will be conveniently listed in alphabetical order in one spot and you will be able to access numerous functions for each one of them through right-click context menus - records, files, etc.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers
Our semi-dedicated hosting plans don't have a set limit for the amount of subdomains you can create. Adding a new subdomain inside the account takes just a few mouse clicks in the Hepsia hosting CP and throughout the process you can select the folder the subdomain is going to access if it is going to be different from the default one, set up tailor-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 such an upgrade to your semi-dedicated account. When the subdomain is created, you'll be able to access logs and visitor statistics or swiftly jump to the website files for it within the File Manager section via quick access buttons. All subdomains you've got in the account are going to be conveniently listed under their root domain, so you're going to be able to find and manage any one of them easily.
