A subdomain is a part of a web address that is under the main domain, for instance 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 just "example.com". Every single subdomain could have its own web site and records and can even be hosted through a different company if you wish to use a feature that isn't provided by your current service provider. One example for using a subdomain is if you have a business site as well as an online store under a subdomain where customers can purchase your products. In addition, you can have a forum where they can comment on the products and by employing subdomains rather than subfolders you'll avoid any risk of all sites going down when you perform maintenance, or update one of the website scripts. Keeping the sites separated is also more secure in the event of a script security breach.

Subdomains in Cloud Web Hosting

Our cloud web hosting plans will permit you to create hundreds of subdomains for any domain address hosted inside your account without any difficulty. Provided that the main domain name is added, it requires two mouse clicks to create a subdomain and choose what folder it's going to open (if different from the default one), create unique error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions, set a shared IP address or a dedicated one, and a lot more. All subdomains are going to be conveniently listed in alphabetical order under their main domain for easy access and control. By right-clicking on any one of them and by using instant access buttons you can see the error logs, visitor statistics or site files for that specific subdomain. We have not set a restriction for the total amount of subdomains you can create with any one of our plans, so you can have as many as you need.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You will be able to create as many subdomains as you would like with any of our semi-dedicated hosting services as we have not set an upper limit for this feature. The Hepsia web hosting Control Panel will permit you to add a new subdomain with only a few clicks and you can access a number of advanced features during the process - modify the default access folder, choose the IP address the subdomain will use from the shared and dedicated ones that 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're going to be able to keep track of all of them with ease as they will be listed in alphabetical order under their main domain. For each of them, you can even access the site files or see logs and usage statistics through fast access buttons.
