A subdomain is part of a web address that is under the main domain, such as name.example.com. From a technical perspective, even in www.example.com the "www" element is a subdomain given that the fully qualified domain name is just "example.com". Each subdomain can have its own web site and records and can also be hosted through a different company if you wish to use some feature that is not provided by your current service provider. An example for using a subdomain is if you have a company website and an online store under a subdomain where customers can buy your products. You can also have a forum where they can comment on the products and by employing subdomains as an alternative to subfolders you'll avoid any risk of all websites going down when you perform maintenance, or update one of the website scripts. Keeping the sites separated is also more secure in the case of a script security breach.
Subdomains in Shared Website Hosting
Our shared website hosting plans will allow you to set up countless subdomains for every domain name hosted inside your account without any hassle. Assuming that the main domain name is added, it takes two clicks to create a subdomain and pick what folder it's going to open (if different from the default one), set unique error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions, set a shared IP address or a dedicated one, and a lot more. All subdomains will be conveniently listed in alphabetical order under their main domain for convenient access and administration. By right-clicking on any one of them and by using quick access buttons you can see the error logs, visitor statistics or site files for that specific subdomain. We have not set a restriction for the total amount of subdomains you can create with any of our plans, so you can have as many as you wish.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting
You will be able to create as many subdomains as you would like with any of our Linux semi-dedicated hosting because we haven't set a maximum limit for this feature. The Hepsia web hosting CP will permit you to add a new subdomain with only a few clicks and you are going to 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 offered in your account, activate FrontPage Extensions, add an SSL certificate, plus much more. Even if you create a huge amount of subdomains, you will be able to keep track of all of them with ease because they are going to be listed in alphabetical order under their main domain. For each of them, you can also access the web site files or see logs and usage statistics via fast access buttons.
