A subdomain is part of a web address that is under the main domain name, such as 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 single subdomain can have its own site and records and can also be hosted through a different provider if you need to use a certain feature that's not provided by your current provider. An illustration for using a subdomain is if you have a company site as well as an online store under a subdomain where clients can buy your products. Additionally, you can have a forum in which they can comment on the products and by using subdomains as an alternative to subfolders you'll avoid any risk of all sites going down if you perform maintenance, or update one of the site scripts. Keeping the websites separated is less risky in the event of a script security breach.
Subdomains in Shared Web Hosting
With our shared web hosting packages you're going to be able to create subdomains with only a couple of clicks in your website hosting Control Panel. All of them are going to be listed in one place along with the domain addresses hosted in the account and arranged under their own domain so as to make their management simpler. Whatever the plan that you choose, you are going to be able to create numerous subdomains and set their access folder or create custom error pages in the process. Additionally, you'll have access to lots of functions for any of them with only a click, so from the exact same section where you create them you can access their DNS records, files, visitor statistics, etc. In contrast to other companies, we haven't limited the amount of subdomains that you can have even if you host just one domain inside the account.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Our Linux semi-dedicated hosting packages do not have a limit for the amount of subdomains you can create. Adding a new subdomain in the account takes only a few clicks inside the Hepsia website hosting CP and during the process you can pick the folder the subdomain is going to access if it will be different from the default one, set up tailor-made error pages, enable FrontPage Extensions if you need them or create a dedicated IP address instead of the shared server one if you have added such an upgrade to your semi-dedicated account. When the subdomain is set up, you will be able to access logs and visitor statistics or quickly jump to the site files for it inside the File Manager area via fast access buttons. All subdomains that you've got in the account will be conveniently listed under their root domain, so you're going to be able to find and manage any one of them easily.
