A subdomain is a part of a web address that is under the main domain name, for example name.example.com. From a technical perspective, even in www.example.com the "www" part is a subdomain given that the fully qualified domain name is only "example.com". Each subdomain could have its own site and records and can even be hosted through a different provider if you need to use some feature that's not offered by your current service provider. A good example for using a subdomain is if you have a company website as well as an online store under a subdomain where customers can buy your products. You can also have a forum in which they can talk about the products and by employing subdomains as opposed to subfolders you will avoid any chance of all sites going down when you perform maintenance, or update one of the site scripts. Keeping the websites separated is also less risky in the case of a script security breach.
Subdomains in Shared Website Hosting
With our shared website hosting packages you are going to be able to create subdomains with only a few clicks in your web hosting CP. All of them will be listed in a single spot together with the domains hosted in the account and grouped under their own domain so as to make their management much easier. Regardless of the plan that you pick, you're going to be able to create many subdomains and set their access folder or create custom error pages along the way. Additionally, you'll have access to lots of functions for any of them with just a click, so from the exact same section in which you create them you can access their DNS records, files, visitor statistics, etc. Unlike other companies, we have not limited the number of subdomains that you can have even if you host only one domain address inside the account.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers
Our semi-dedicated plans haven't got a limit for the number of subdomains you can create. Adding a new subdomain inside the account takes just a few mouse clicks inside the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and throughout the process you can choose the folder the subdomain is going to access if it is going to be different from the default one, create customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions if you need them or create a dedicated IP address rather than the shared server one in case you have added such an upgrade to your semi-dedicated account. After the subdomain is set up, you will be able to access logs and visitor statistics or you can easily jump to the site files for it within the File Manager section by using quick access buttons. All subdomains that you've got in the account will be conveniently listed under their root domain, so you'll be able to find and handle every single one of them with ease.
