A subdomain is a part of a web address that is under the main domain name, for example name.example.com. Actually, even in www.example.com the "www" part is a subdomain since the fully qualified domain name is just "example.com". Each subdomain could have its own website and records and can even be hosted through a different provider if you want to use a feature that isn't offered by your current provider. An illustration for using a subdomain is if you have a business site as well as an online store under a subdomain where customers can acquire your products. You can even have a forum in which they can talk about the products and by employing subdomains instead of subfolders you are going to avoid any chance of all websites going down when you perform maintenance, or update one of the site scripts. Keeping your sites separated is less risky in the case of a script security breach.

Subdomains in Cloud Hosting

When you acquire a cloud hosting package through our company, you will be able to create subdomains with ease via your Hepsia website hosting Control Panel. We've decided not to restrict their amount, so in case you host just one domain in the account, you are going to be able to create as many subdomains as you want and have a different site for every one of them. During the creation of a subdomain, you can pick the folder within the account that it will open, create custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions and error logs, choose a server shared IP address or a dedicated one if you have such, and a lot more. All hosted domain names and the subdomains you create for them will be conveniently listed in alphabetical order in one place and you are going to be able to access lots of functions for every one of them through right-click context menus - records, files, etc.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Our Linux semi-dedicated hosting packages don't have a restriction for the amount of subdomains you can create. Adding a new subdomain within the account takes only a few mouse clicks within the Hepsia hosting CP and in the process you can select the folder the subdomain will access if it will be different from the default one, set up custom-made error pages, enable FrontPage Extensions if you need them or set a dedicated IP address as opposed to the shared server one if you have added such an upgrade to your semi-dedicated account. When the subdomain is created, you'll be able to access logs and visitor stats or quickly jump to the website files for it inside the File Manager area via quick access buttons. All subdomains you have inside the account will be conveniently listed under their root domain, so you're going to be able to find and control any one of them with ease.
