A subdomain is a part of a web address that's 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 since the fully qualified domain name is only "example.com". Every subdomain could have its own website and records and can also be hosted using a different company if you wish to use a feature that isn't offered by your current provider. An illustration for using a subdomain is if you have a company site and an online store under a subdomain where clients can purchase your products. You can even have a forum where they can comment on the products and by using subdomains as opposed to subfolders you'll avoid any risk of all websites going down when you perform maintenance, or update one of the site scripts. Keeping your sites separated is also more secure in case there is a script security breach.

Subdomains in Cloud Hosting

Every single cloud hosting package which we provide will permit you to create hundreds of subdomains with no more than a few clicks in your hosting Control Panel. They will all be listed in the area where you create them and grouped under the main domain for more convenience, so that you're able to easily keep an eye on every one of them. Furthermore, you can access lots of functions for any of the subdomains via right-click context menus - for instance, you can view or modify their DNS records, access the site files, and a lot more. While setting up a new subdomain, you'll also have numerous options that you can choose from - define the default access folder, set unique error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or pick if the subdomain will use a shared or a dedicated IP address. What number of subdomains you'll have is 100 % up to you because we have not limited this feature for any one of our packages.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Our Linux semi-dedicated packages do not have a limit for the number of subdomains which you can create. Adding a new subdomain in the account takes only a few mouse clicks inside the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel and during the process you can choose the folder the subdomain is going to access if it will be different from the default one, set up tailor-made error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions if you need them or set a dedicated IP address as opposed to the shared server one in case you have added such an upgrade to your semi-dedicated account. Once the subdomain is set up, you'll be able to access logs and visitor statistics or quickly jump to the site files for it within the File Manager section through instant access buttons. All subdomains that you have within the account will be conveniently listed under their root domain, so you're going to be able to find and control any one of them easily.
