A subdomain is part of a web address that's under the main domain, for instance name.example.com. Technically, even in www.example.com the "www" element is a subdomain since the fully qualified domain name is just "example.com". Every single subdomain could have its own web site and records and can even be hosted using a different provider if you need to use a feature which isn't provided by your current service provider. An example for using a subdomain is if you have a company site as well as an online store under a subdomain where customers can acquire your products. You can even have a forum in which they can talk about the products and by employing subdomains instead of subfolders you'll avoid any risk of all sites going down if you perform maintenance, or update one of the website scripts. Keeping the websites separated is also less risky in the event of a script security breach.

Subdomains in Shared Website Hosting

Our shared website hosting packages will allow you to create hundreds of subdomains for every domain name hosted in your account without any difficulty. Assuming that the main domain is added, it takes 2 mouse clicks to create a subdomain and select what folder it's going to open (if different from the default one), create customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions, set a shared IP address or a dedicated one, and a lot more. All subdomains will be conveniently listed in alphabetical order under their main domain for effortless access and management. By right-clicking on any one of them and by using fast access buttons you can view the error logs, visitor statistics or site files for that particular subdomain. We haven't set a restriction for the total amount of subdomains that you can create with any of our plans, so you can have as many as you wish.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers

You’ll be able to create as many subdomains as you would like with any one of our semi-dedicated servers because we haven't set an upper limit for this feature. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel allows you to add a new subdomain with just a few clicks and you are going to 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 set up a great number of subdomains, you're going to be able to keep track of them with ease because they are going to be listed in alphabetical order under their main domain. For any of them, you can even access the website files or see logs and usage statistics via instant access buttons.
