A subdomain is a part of a web address that is under the main domain, such as name.example.com. Technically, even in www.example.com the "www" part is a subdomain since the fully qualified domain name is just "example.com". Each subdomain can have its own website and records and can also be hosted through a different company if you wish to use a feature which isn't provided by your current service provider. An illustration for using a subdomain is if you have a company site as well as an online store under a subdomain where customers can buy your products. You can even have a forum where they can discuss the products and by employing subdomains as opposed to subfolders you will avoid any risk of all websites going down if you perform maintenance, or update one of the website scripts. Keeping the websites separated is also more secure in the case of a script security breach.

Subdomains in Web Hosting

Every single web hosting package we supply will enable you to create many subdomains with no more than a few clicks in your website hosting CP. They'll all be listed in the section where you create them and grouped under the main domain for more convenience, so that you're able to easily monitor all of them. Additionally, you can access many functions for any of the subdomains using right-click context menus - as an example, you can view or edit their DNS records, access the site files, and much more. While creating a new subdomain, you will also have lots of options that you can select from - specify the default access folder, create custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or select if the subdomain will use a shared or a dedicated IP address. The number of subdomains you are going to have is entirely up to you as we have not limited this feature for any of our plans.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you purchase a semi-dedicated server package, you're going to be able to create as many subdomains as you would like because this feature is unrestricted. Considering that the website hosting plans are quite powerful, we've decided not to put any limit on the amount of subdomains. Our innovative Hepsia Control Panel will enable you to create a new subdomain with no more than a few mouse clicks, to choose which folder it will access within the account, to enable FrontPage Extensions for it, to set up unique error pages, to create a shared or a dedicated IP address if you have one, and many more. To make it easier for you, all subdomains are going to be listed under their root domain, so you can very easily see and manage them. Using fast access links, you'll be able to open the site files for any one of the subdomains that you have or check out its DNS records.
