A subdomain is a part of a web address which is under the main domain name, for instance name.example.com. Actually, even in www.example.com the "www" element is a subdomain given that the fully qualified domain name is only "example.com". Each subdomain can have its own site and records and can even be hosted using a different provider if you wish to use a feature which isn't provided by your current provider. A good example for using a subdomain is if you have a company site and an online store under a subdomain where clients can buy your products. You can even 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 site scripts. Keeping your websites separated is also less risky in the case of a script security breach.
Subdomains in Shared Hosting
With our shared hosting packages you will be able to create subdomains with a few mouse clicks in your website hosting CP. All of them are going to be listed in a single place together with the domain names hosted in the account and grouped under their own domain in order to make their administration easier. No matter the plan that you choose, you are going to be able to create many subdomains and set their access folder or set up custom error pages during the process. You will also have access to a lot of functions for any of them with only a click, so from the very same section in which you create them you can access their DNS records, files, visitor statistics, etc. Unlike other providers, we have not limited the number of subdomains you can have even if you host one domain address in the account.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers
You’re able to create as many subdomains as you would like with any of our semi-dedicated hosting plans as we haven't set an upper limit for this feature. The Hepsia hosting CP will allow you to add a new subdomain with just a few clicks and you are going to be able to access a number of advanced features during the process - change the default access folder, select the IP address the subdomain will use from the shared and dedicated ones that are provided in your account, activate FrontPage Extensions, add an SSL certificate, and a lot more. Even if you set up a great number of subdomains, you're going to be able to keep track of all of them with ease because they will be listed in alphabetical order below their main domain. For any one of them, you can even access the web site files or check out logs and usage statistics through instant access buttons.
