A subdomain is 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" element is a subdomain because the fully qualified domain name is just "example.com". Every subdomain can have its own website and records and can also be hosted using a different company if you need to use some feature that is not provided by your current service provider. A good example for using a subdomain is if you have a company site and an online store under a subdomain where clients can purchase your products. In addition, you can have a forum where they can talk about the products and by employing subdomains instead of subfolders you are going to avoid any probability of all sites going down when you perform maintenance, or update one of the website scripts. Keeping your websites separated is also less risky in case of a script security breach.
Subdomains in Shared Hosting
Our shared hosting packages will allow you to set up countless subdomains for any domain hosted within your account without any problem. Provided that the main domain address is added, it requires 2 mouse clicks to set up a subdomain and choose what folder it's going to open (if different from the default one), create customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions, set a shared IP address or a dedicated one, and more. All subdomains are going to be conveniently listed in alphabetical order under their main domain for convenient access and control. By right-clicking on any one of them and by using quick access buttons you can view the error logs, visitor statistics or site files for that particular subdomain. We have not set a limit for the amount of subdomains you can create with any one of our plans, so you can have as many as you need.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers
You will be able to create as many subdomains as you wish with any one of our semi-dedicated hosting plans since we haven't set a maximum limit for this feature. The Hepsia web hosting CP will allow you to add a new subdomain with just a few mouse clicks and you'll be able to access a variety of advanced features during the process - modify the default access folder, select the IP address the subdomain will use from the shared and dedicated ones which are available in your account, activate FrontPage Extensions, add an SSL certificate, and much more. Even if you set up a large number of subdomains, you'll be able to keep track of all of them with ease as they will be listed in alphabetical order below their main domain. For each of them, you can also access the website files or see logs and usage statistics via quick access buttons.
