A subdomain is part of a web address that is under the main domain name, for instance name.example.com. Actually, even in www.example.com the "www" part is a subdomain because the fully qualified domain name is just "example.com". Every subdomain can have its own web site and records and can also be hosted through a different provider if you wish to use a certain feature that isn't provided by your current service provider. A good example for using a subdomain is if you have a company site as well as an online store under a subdomain where customers can purchase your products. You can also have a forum where they can talk about the products and by using subdomains rather than subfolders you will avoid any risk of all sites going down when you perform maintenance, or update one of the site scripts. Keeping your websites separated is more secure in case of a script security breach.
Subdomains in Cloud Hosting
Our cloud hosting plans will permit you to set up countless subdomains for every domain hosted inside your account without any hassle. If the main domain is added, it requires two mouse clicks to set up a subdomain and select what folder it will 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 effortless access and administration. By right-clicking on any one of them and by using fast access buttons you can view the error logs, visitor statistics or site 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 want.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers
You will be able to create as many subdomains as you want with any one of our Linux semi-dedicated servers since we haven't set an upper limit for this feature. The Hepsia web hosting Control Panel allows you to add a new subdomain with a few clicks and you are going to be able to access a number of advanced features during the process - modify the default access folder, select the IP address the subdomain will use from the shared and dedicated ones which are available in your account, activate FrontPage Extensions, add an SSL certificate, and more. Even if you create a large number of subdomains, you're going to be able to keep track of all of them with ease as they will be listed in alphabetical order under their main domain. For every single one of them, you can also access the website files or see logs and usage stats using quick access buttons.
