A subdomain is a part of a web address which is under the main domain name, such as name.example.com. From a technical perspective, even in www.example.com the "www" element is a subdomain because the fully qualified domain name is just "example.com". Each subdomain can have its own web site and records and can even be hosted with a different provider if you need to use some feature which isn't provided by your current service provider. An illustration 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 discuss the products and by using subdomains as an alternative to 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 also less risky in case there is a script security breach.

Subdomains in Web Hosting

Our web hosting packages will allow you to create countless subdomains for any domain name hosted inside your account without any problem. Assuming that the main domain name is added, it will take two mouse clicks to create a subdomain and choose what folder it's going to open (if different from the default one), set unique error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions, set a shared IP address or a dedicated one, and much more. All subdomains are going to be conveniently listed in alphabetical order under their main domain for easy access and management. By right-clicking on any of them and by using fast access buttons you can see the error logs, visitor statistics or website files for that particular subdomain. We haven't set a limit 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 Servers

When you acquire a semi-dedicated server plan, you will be able to create as many subdomains as you want simply because this feature is unlimited. Considering that the website hosting plans are very powerful, we've decided not to set any limit on the number of subdomains. Our advanced Hepsia Control Panel will allow you to create a new subdomain with no more than a few clicks, to choose which folder it'll access inside the account, to activate FrontPage Extensions for it, to create unique error pages, to create a shared or a dedicated IP address if you have one, and a lot more. To make it easier for you, all the subdomains will be listed under their root domain, so that you can very easily see and manage them. Using fast access links, you'll also be able to open the website files for any one of the subdomains that you have or see its DNS records.
