A subdomain is part of a web address which is under the main domain, for example 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 subdomain could have its own website and records and can also be hosted using a different provider if you need to use a certain feature which is not offered by your current provider. A good example for using a subdomain is if you have a business website along with an online store under a subdomain where customers can purchase your products. In addition, you can have a forum where they can discuss the products and by employing subdomains as opposed to subfolders you will avoid any chance of all websites going down when you perform maintenance, or update one of the site scripts. Keeping the sites separated is also less risky in the event of a script security breach.

Subdomains in Cloud Hosting

Our cloud hosting plans will permit you to create many subdomains for every domain name hosted in your account without any difficulty. If the main domain address is added, it will take 2 clicks to set up a subdomain and pick what folder it's going to open (if different from the default one), set customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions, set a shared IP address or a dedicated one, and more. All subdomains will be conveniently listed in alphabetical order under their main domain for quick access and management. By right-clicking on any of them and by using quick access buttons you can see the error logs, visitor statistics or site files for that particular subdomain. We have not set a limit for the total amount of subdomains that you can create with any one of our plans, so you can have as many as you wish.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You can create as many subdomains as you would like with any of our Linux semi-dedicated hosting because we have not set a maximum limit for this feature. The Hepsia website hosting Control Panel will allow you to add a new subdomain with just a few mouse clicks and you can access a variety of advanced features during the process - modify the default access folder, pick 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 more. Even if you set up a huge amount of subdomains, you will be able to keep track of them with ease since they are going to be listed in alphabetical order under their main domain. For any of them, you can also access the web site files or see logs and usage statistics using fast access buttons.
