A subdomain is a part of a web address that's under the main domain, such as name.example.com. From a technical perspective, even in www.example.com the "www" element is a subdomain because the fully qualified domain name is only "example.com". Every single subdomain can have its own website and records and can even be hosted through a different provider if you want to use a feature that is not offered by your current provider. An illustration 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 even have a forum where they can comment on the products and by using subdomains as an alternative to subfolders you'll avoid any probability of all websites going down when you perform maintenance, or update one of the website scripts. Keeping your websites separated is more secure in case there is a script security breach.

Subdomains in Cloud Web Hosting

If you acquire a cloud web hosting plan through our company, you're going to be able to create subdomains with ease through your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. We've decided not to restrict their amount, so even if you host only one domain name in the account, you're going to be able to create as many subdomains as you want and have a different site for every single one of them. During the creation of a subdomain, you are able to pick the folder within the account that it'll open, create customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions and error logs, choose a server shared IP address or a dedicated one if you have such, and a lot more. All hosted domain names and the subdomains you create for them are going to be conveniently listed in alphabetical order in one spot and you will be able to gain access to many functions for every single one of them with right-click context menus - records, files, etc.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our semi-dedicated servers haven't got a restriction for the number of subdomains which you can create. Adding a new subdomain inside the account takes just a few mouse clicks within the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel and in the process you can choose the folder the subdomain will access if it is going to be different from the default one, create custom-made error pages, enable FrontPage Extensions if you need them or set a dedicated IP address rather than the shared server one provided you have added such an upgrade to your semi-dedicated account. After the subdomain is created, you can access logs and visitor statistics or you can easily jump to the website files for it in the File Manager section via fast access buttons. All subdomains you have within the account are going to be conveniently listed under their root domain, so you will be able to find and control any of them easily.
