A subdomain is part of a web address that is under the main domain, such as name.example.com. Technically, even in www.example.com the "www" part is a subdomain since the fully qualified domain name is just "example.com". Each subdomain can have its own web site and records and can also be hosted with a different provider if you want to use a specific feature which is not offered by your current service provider. An illustration for using a subdomain is if you have a company website along with an online store under a subdomain where customers can purchase your products. You can even have a forum where they can talk about the products and by using subdomains rather than subfolders you are going to avoid any risk of all websites going down when you perform maintenance, or update one of the website scripts. Keeping the websites separated is less risky in case of a script security breach.

Subdomains in Cloud Hosting

Every cloud hosting package we provide will enable you to create hundreds of subdomains with no more than a few clicks in your web hosting CP. They will all be listed in the area in which you create them and arranged under the main domain for more convenience, so that you can very easily monitor all of them. Furthermore, you can access a lot of functions for any one of the subdomains via right-click context menus - as an example, you can view or modify their DNS records, access the site files, plus much more. While creating a new subdomain, you're also going to have numerous options that you can select from - specify the default access folder, set custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or pick if the subdomain will use a shared or a dedicated IP address. The amount of subdomains you will have is completely up to you since we have not restricted this feature for any of our packages.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers

You are able to create as many subdomains as you wish with any one of our semi-dedicated servers as we haven't 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 mouse clicks and you can access a number of advanced features during the process - change the default access folder, pick the IP address the subdomain will use from the shared and dedicated ones which are available in your account, activate FrontPage Extensions, add an SSL certificate, and a lot more. Even if you create a huge amount of subdomains, you're going to be able to keep track of them with ease since they will be listed in alphabetical order below their main domain. For any one of them, you are able to access the web site files or see logs and usage stats through fast access buttons.
