A subdomain is a part of a web address which 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 only "example.com". Every subdomain could have its own site and records and can also be hosted using a different company if you want to use a certain feature that is not provided by your current provider. One example for using a subdomain is if you have a business site and an online store under a subdomain where customers can acquire your products. You can also have a forum in which they can discuss the products and by using subdomains rather than subfolders you will avoid any probability of all websites going down if you perform maintenance, or update one of the website scripts. Keeping your websites separated is also less risky in the event of a script security breach.
Subdomains in Shared Website Hosting
Each and every shared website hosting plan we offer will allow you to create hundreds of subdomains with no more than a couple of mouse clicks within your web hosting CP. They are going to be listed in the section where you create them and grouped under the main domain for more convenience, so that you can very easily keep track of them all. Furthermore, you can access many functions for any of the subdomains through right-click context menus - for example, you can view or modify their DNS records, access the site files, and a lot more. While creating a new subdomain, you'll also have many options that you can select from - determine the default access folder, create customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or pick if the subdomain will use a shared or a dedicated IP address. The amount of subdomains you will have is 100 % up to you since we haven't limited this feature for any one of our plans.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers
You will be able to create as many subdomains as you would like with any of our semi-dedicated hosting plans since we haven't set a maximum limit for this feature. The Hepsia website hosting CP will allow you to add a new subdomain with only a few clicks and you are going to be able to access a variety of advanced features during the process - change the default access folder, select the IP address the subdomain will use from the shared and dedicated ones that are offered in your account, activate FrontPage Extensions, add an SSL certificate, and much more. Even if you create a large number of subdomains, you're going to be able to keep track of them with ease since they will be listed in alphabetical order under their main domain. For each of them, you can even access the web site files or see logs and usage stats through fast access buttons.
