A subdomain is a part of a web address that's 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 just "example.com". Every single subdomain could have its own web site and records and can even be hosted with a different company if you want to use some feature that is not 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 buy your products. In addition, you can have a forum where they can discuss the products and by using subdomains as an alternative to subfolders you are going to avoid any probability of all sites going down when you perform maintenance, or update one of the site scripts. Keeping your websites separated is more secure in case of a script security breach.

Subdomains in Hosting

Our hosting plans will allow you to create numerous subdomains for every domain hosted within your account without any problem. If the main domain is added, it takes 2 clicks to create a subdomain and choose what folder it will open (if different from the default one), set unique error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions, set a shared IP address or a dedicated one, and more. All subdomains are going to be conveniently listed in alphabetical order under their main domain for quick access and management. By right-clicking on any of them and by using quick access buttons you can view the error logs, visitor statistics or site files for that particular subdomain. We have not set a restriction for the total number of subdomains which you can create with any one of our plans, so you can have as many as you wish.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You will be able to create as many subdomains as you want with any of our Linux semi-dedicated packages as we haven't set an upper limit for this feature. The Hepsia website hosting CP will permit you to add a new subdomain with only a few clicks and you will be able to access a number of advanced features during the process - change the default access folder, choose the IP address the subdomain will use from the shared and dedicated ones which are provided in your account, activate FrontPage Extensions, add an SSL certificate, and a lot more. Even if you create a huge amount of subdomains, you are going to be able to keep track of all of them with ease since they are going to be listed in alphabetical order under their main domain. For each of them, you are able to access the website files or view logs and usage stats using fast access buttons.
