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 given that the fully qualified domain name is just "example.com". Each subdomain could have its own site and records and can also be hosted with a different company if you want to use some feature which is not offered by your current 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. Additionally, you can have a forum in which they can talk about the products and by using subdomains as opposed to subfolders you will avoid any chance of all sites going down when you perform maintenance, or update one of the site scripts. Keeping the websites separated is more secure in the event of a script security breach.

Subdomains in Shared Hosting

When you get a shared hosting package from us, you are going to be able to create subdomains effortlessly via your Hepsia website hosting Control Panel. We've decided not to limit their amount, so even when you host only one domain address in the account, you're going to be able to create as many subdomains as you wish and have a different website for each one. During the creation of a subdomain, you'll be able to choose the folder inside the account that it's going to open, create custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions and error logs, pick a server shared IP address or a dedicated one if you have such, and a lot more. All hosted domain names and the subdomains that you create for them will be conveniently listed in alphabetical order in one spot and you will be able to gain access to a lot of functions for each one of them with right-click context menus - records, files, etc.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You are able to create as many subdomains as you would like with any of our Linux semi-dedicated packages because we haven't set a maximum limit for this feature. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel will enable you to add a new subdomain with only a few clicks and you will be able to access a number of advanced features during the process - modify 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 a lot more. Even if you set up a huge amount 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 every single one of them, you can even access the website files or see logs and usage statistics through quick access buttons.
