A subdomain is a part of a web address which is under the main domain name, for instance name.example.com. Technically, even in www.example.com the "www" part is a subdomain given that the fully qualified domain name is only "example.com". Every subdomain could have its own web site and records and can even be hosted using a different company if you need to use a certain feature that's not offered by your current provider. One example for using a subdomain is if you have a business site along with an online store under a subdomain where clients can purchase your products. In addition, you can have a forum in which they can talk about the products and by employing subdomains rather than subfolders you will avoid any risk of all websites going down when you perform maintenance, or update one of the site scripts. Keeping your sites separated is less risky in case there is a script security breach.

Subdomains in Shared Hosting

Every shared hosting plan that we offer will allow you to create many subdomains with no more than a couple of clicks in your web hosting CP. They will all be listed in the section where you create them and arranged under the main domain for more convenience, so that you're able to effortlessly keep tabs on them all. Furthermore, you can access lots of functions for any one of the subdomains through right-click context menus - for example, you can view or edit their DNS records, access the website files, and a lot more. While setting up a new subdomain, you'll also have many options that you can select from - determine the default access folder, create customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or pick if the subdomain will use a shared or a dedicated IP address. How many subdomains you will have is totally up to you as we have not limited this feature for any of our packages.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers

When you get a semi-dedicated server package, you will be able to create as many subdomains as you wish simply because this feature is unlimited. For the reason that the web hosting packages are rather powerful, we've decided not to put any restriction on the number of subdomains. Our innovative Hepsia Control Panel will allow you to create a new subdomain with no more than a couple of clicks, to pick which folder it's going to access in the account, to enable FrontPage Extensions for it, to create custom error pages, to set a shared or a dedicated IP address if you have one, and more. To make it easier for you, all subdomains will be listed under their root domain, so you can effortlessly see and handle them. Through quick access links, you will also have the ability to open the website files for any of the subdomains that you have or view its DNS records.
