A subdomain is part of a web address that's under the main domain, for example name.example.com. Actually, even in www.example.com the "www" part is a subdomain given that the fully qualified domain name is only "example.com". Every subdomain could have its own web site and records and can even be hosted using a different provider if you wish to use a feature that is not provided by your current service provider. One example for using a subdomain is if you have a business website and an online store under a subdomain where customers can buy your products. In addition, you can have a forum in which they can discuss the products and by employing subdomains as an alternative to subfolders you'll avoid any probability of all websites going down if you perform maintenance, or update one of the website scripts. Keeping the sites separated is also less risky in case of a script security breach.

Subdomains in Hosting

Our hosting plans will enable you to create numerous subdomains for any domain hosted within your account without any hassle. Assuming that the main domain address is added, it will take 2 clicks to create a subdomain and choose what folder it'll open (if different from the default one), set custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions, set a shared IP address or a dedicated one, and much more. All subdomains will be conveniently listed in alphabetical order under their main domain for easy access and management. By right-clicking on any one of them and by using quick access buttons you can view the error logs, visitor statistics or site files for that particular subdomain. We have not set a restriction for the amount of subdomains you can create with any of our plans, so you can have as many as you wish.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers

You will be able to create as many subdomains as you wish with any of our semi-dedicated servers because we haven't set a maximum limit for this feature. The Hepsia website hosting CP will allow you to add a new subdomain with a few mouse clicks and you are going to be able to access a number of advanced features during the process - replace the default access folder, choose the IP address the subdomain will use from the shared and dedicated ones which are provided in your account, activate FrontPage Extensions, add an SSL certificate, and much more. Even if you set up a large number of subdomains, you are going to be able to keep track of all of them with ease because they are going to be listed in alphabetical order below their main domain. For every single one of them, you can even access the site files or check out logs and usage stats using instant access buttons.
