A subdomain is part of a web address that's under the main domain, such as name.example.com. Actually, even in www.example.com the "www" element is a subdomain given that the fully qualified domain name is only "example.com". Each subdomain could have its own web site and records and can even be hosted with a different provider if you need to use a certain feature that isn't provided by your current provider. An example for using a subdomain is if you have a business website along with an online store under a subdomain where customers can buy your products. In addition, you can have a forum in which they can talk about the products and by using subdomains as an alternative to subfolders you'll avoid any probability of all websites going down if you perform maintenance, or update one of the website scripts. Keeping your websites separated is more secure in the event of a script security breach.

Subdomains in Hosting

Each hosting plan which we provide will permit you to create hundreds of subdomains with no more than a couple of clicks in your hosting CP. They will all be listed in the section where you create them and grouped under the main domain for more convenience, so that you can easily keep track of all of them. Additionally, you can access lots of functions for any of the subdomains via right-click context menus - for instance, you can view or edit their DNS records, access the site files, and much more. While creating a new subdomain, you're also going to have numerous options that you can pick from - determine the default access folder, set custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or select if the subdomain is going to use a shared or a dedicated IP address. What number of subdomains you are going to have is completely up to you since we have not restricted this feature for any one of our plans.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our semi-dedicated servers do not have a set limit for the amount of subdomains you can create. Adding a new subdomain within the account takes just a couple of clicks within the Hepsia website hosting CP and throughout the process you can choose the folder the subdomain will access if it is going to be different from the default one, set up tailor-made error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions if you need them or set a dedicated IP address rather than the shared server one if you have added such an upgrade to your semi-dedicated account. When the subdomain is set up, you'll be able to access logs and visitor statistics or quickly jump to the website files for it inside the File Manager section using instant access buttons. All subdomains that you have within the account will be conveniently listed under their root domain, so you'll be able to find and control any of them easily.
