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" part is a subdomain since the fully qualified domain name is just "example.com". Every subdomain could have its own web site and records and can also be hosted using a different company if you need to use a feature which is not offered by your current service provider. One example for using a subdomain is if you have a business site as well as an online store under a subdomain where clients can buy your products. You can also have a forum where they can talk about the products and by employing subdomains instead of subfolders you will avoid any probability of all websites going down if you perform maintenance, or update one of the website scripts. Keeping your sites separated is also less risky in the case of a script security breach.

Subdomains in Shared Web Hosting

Our shared web hosting packages will permit you to create many subdomains for any domain address hosted inside your account without any hassle. Assuming that the main domain is added, it takes 2 mouse clicks to create a subdomain and pick what folder it's going to open (if different from the default one), set customized 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 quick access and administration. By right-clicking on any one of them and by using instant access buttons you can view the error logs, visitor statistics or site files for that particular subdomain. We haven't set a restriction for the total amount of subdomains which you can create with any one of our plans, so you can have as many as you wish.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Our Linux semi-dedicated hosting packages haven't got a restriction for the number of subdomains which you can create. Adding a new subdomain inside the account takes only a couple of mouse clicks in the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel and during the process you can choose the folder the subdomain will access if it will be different from the default one, set up tailor-made error pages, enable FrontPage Extensions if you need them or set a dedicated IP address rather than the shared server one in case you have added this upgrade to your semi-dedicated account. As soon as the subdomain is set up, you'll be able to access logs and visitor statistics or quickly jump to the site files for it inside the File Manager section via instant access buttons. All subdomains you've got inside the account are going to be conveniently listed under their root domain, so you will be able to find and manage any of them easily.
