A subdomain is part of a web address which is under the main domain name, for instance name.example.com. From a technical perspective, even in www.example.com the "www" element is a subdomain given that the fully qualified domain name is only "example.com". Every subdomain could have its own web site and records and can even be hosted using a different company if you need to use a specific feature that is not provided by your current provider. One example for using a subdomain is if you have a business website along with an online store under a subdomain where customers can buy your products. You can also have a forum where they can comment on the products and by using subdomains instead of subfolders you are going to avoid any risk of all websites going down when you perform maintenance, or update one of the site scripts. Keeping your sites separated is less risky in case there is a script security breach.

Subdomains in Shared Hosting

Each and every shared hosting plan that we offer will allow you to create many subdomains with no more than a couple of mouse clicks inside your website hosting Control Panel. They'll all be listed in the section in which you create them and arranged under the main domain for more convenience, to help you easily monitor all of them. In addition, you can access lots of functions for any of the subdomains via right-click context menus - for example, you can view or modify their DNS records, access the website files, plus much more. While creating a new subdomain, you are also going to have numerous options that you can select from - define the default access folder, create custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or pick if the subdomain is going to use a shared or a dedicated IP address. The number of subdomains you are going to have is 100 % up to you because we have not limited this feature for any one of our packages.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our semi-dedicated hosting plans do not have a limit for the number of subdomains that you can create. Adding a new subdomain inside the account takes just a couple of mouse clicks inside the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel and during the process you can pick the folder the subdomain is going to access if it is going to be different from the default one, create tailor-made error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions if you need them or create a dedicated IP address instead of the shared server one provided you have added such an upgrade to your semi-dedicated account. Once the subdomain is set up, you'll be able to access logs and visitor stats or quickly jump to the website files for it in the File Manager section by using instant access buttons. All subdomains that you've got in the account will be conveniently listed under their root domain, so you are going to be able to find and control any one of them effortlessly.
