A subdomain is a part of a web address that is under the main domain, such as name.example.com. Actually, even in www.example.com the "www" element is a subdomain because the fully qualified domain name is only "example.com". Each subdomain could have its own site and records and can even be hosted using a different company if you want to use a feature that isn't provided by your current service provider. One example for using a subdomain is if you have a company site as well as an online store under a subdomain where clients can buy your products. You can also have a forum where they can comment on the products and by using subdomains as opposed to subfolders you are going to avoid any risk of all sites going down when you perform maintenance, or update one of the website scripts. Keeping the websites separated is also more secure in case there is a script security breach.
Subdomains in Shared Hosting
Our shared hosting plans will enable you to set up many subdomains for every domain address hosted inside your account without any problem. As long as the main domain is added, it takes 2 clicks to set up a subdomain and choose what folder it will 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 quick access and control. By right-clicking on any one of them and by using instant access buttons you can view the error logs, visitor statistics or site files for that specific subdomain. We haven't set a limit for the total number of subdomains you can create with any one of our plans, so you can have as many as you need.
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 services since we haven't set a maximum limit for this feature. The Hepsia website hosting CP allows you to add a new subdomain with just a few clicks and you are going to be able to access a number 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 which are available in your account, activate FrontPage Extensions, add an SSL certificate, and a lot more. Even if you set up a huge amount of subdomains, you are going to be able to keep track of them with ease because they are going to be listed in alphabetical order below their main domain. For any of them, you are able to access the website files or see logs and usage statistics using quick access buttons.
