A subdomain is part of a web address which is under the main domain name, for example name.example.com. From a technical perspective, even in www.example.com the "www" part is a subdomain given that the fully qualified domain name is just "example.com". Every subdomain can have its own site and records and can also be hosted using a different company if you wish to use a specific feature that's not provided by your current service provider. One example for using a subdomain is if you have a company website as well as an online store under a subdomain where customers can acquire your products. Additionally, you can have a forum where they can comment on the products and by using subdomains as opposed to subfolders you will avoid any chance of all sites going down if you perform maintenance, or update one of the site scripts. Keeping your sites separated is also more secure in case there is a script security breach.

Subdomains in Cloud Hosting

Each cloud hosting plan that we offer will enable you to create many subdomains with no more than a few mouse clicks inside your web hosting CP. They're going to be listed in the area where you create them and grouped under the main domain for more convenience, so that you're able to effortlessly monitor them all. In addition, you can access a lot of functions for any one of the subdomains through right-click context menus - for example, you can view or change their DNS records, access the site files, plus much more. While creating a new subdomain, you are also going to have lots of options that you can select from - determine the default access folder, create custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or choose if the subdomain will use a shared or a dedicated IP address. The number of subdomains you will have is entirely up to you since we have not restricted this feature for any one of our plans.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our semi-dedicated hosting plans do not have a set limit for the number of subdomains which you can create. Adding a new subdomain within the account takes just a few clicks in the Hepsia web hosting CP and in the process you can choose the folder the subdomain is going to access if it is going to be different from the default one, create custom-made error pages, enable FrontPage Extensions if you need them or create a dedicated IP address instead of the shared server one provided you have added this upgrade to your semi-dedicated account. Once the subdomain is set up, you can access logs and visitor statistics or easily jump to the site files for it inside the File Manager area through quick access buttons. All subdomains that you have in the account are going to be conveniently listed under their root domain, so you will be able to find and manage any one of them effortlessly.
