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" element is a subdomain since the fully qualified domain name is only "example.com". Every single subdomain could have its own website and records and can even be hosted through a different company if you wish to use a specific feature which is not offered by your current service provider. One example for using a subdomain is if you have a business site and an online store under a subdomain where customers can acquire your products. Additionally, you can have a forum in which they can talk about the products and by employing subdomains rather than subfolders you'll avoid any risk of all websites going down if you perform maintenance, or update one of the website scripts. Keeping the websites separated is also less risky in case of a script security breach.

Subdomains in Website Hosting

Our website hosting plans will permit you to create hundreds of subdomains for every domain address hosted within your account without any problem. Provided that the main domain address is added, it takes two mouse clicks to set up a subdomain and pick 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, plus much more. All subdomains will be conveniently listed in alphabetical order under their main domain for quick access and control. By right-clicking on any of them and by using quick access buttons you can see the error logs, visitor statistics or website files for that specific subdomain. We have not set a restriction for the total amount of subdomains you can create with any of our plans, so you can have as many as you need.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You’re able to create as many subdomains as you wish with any one of our Linux semi-dedicated hosting since we have not set a maximum limit for this feature. The Hepsia web hosting CP will allow you to add a new subdomain with just a few mouse clicks and you are going to be able to access a variety of advanced features during the process - replace the default access folder, select 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, and much more. Even if you set up a great number of subdomains, you're going to be able to keep track of them with ease because they are going to be listed in alphabetical order below their main domain. For any of them, you are able to access the website files or view logs and usage stats via fast access buttons.
