A subdomain is a part of a web address which is under the main domain name, for example name.example.com. Technically, even in www.example.com the "www" part is a subdomain because the fully qualified domain name is only "example.com". Each subdomain could have its own site and records and can also be hosted using a different company if you need to use some feature which 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 clients can purchase your products. You can even have a forum in which they can discuss the products and by using subdomains as opposed to subfolders you will avoid any chance of all sites going down when you perform maintenance, or update one of the website scripts. Keeping your websites separated is also less risky in the case of a script security breach.

Subdomains in Shared Web Hosting

Every single shared web hosting plan we provide will enable you to create numerous subdomains with no more than a few mouse clicks within your web hosting Control Panel. They're going to 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 keep an eye on all of them. In addition, you can access many functions for any of the subdomains via right-click context menus - as an example, you can view or edit their DNS records, access the site files, and more. While setting up a new subdomain, you are also going to have many options that you can choose from - specify the default access folder, create unique error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or decide if the subdomain is going to use a shared or a dedicated IP address. How many subdomains you are going to have is 100 % up to you because we have not restricted this feature for any one of our packages.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting

When you get a semi-dedicated server plan, you are going to be able to create as many subdomains as you'd like simply because this feature is unrestricted. Considering that the website hosting packages are rather powerful, we've decided not to set any limit on the amount of subdomains. Our innovative Hepsia Control Panel will permit you to create a new subdomain with no more than a couple of clicks, to pick which folder it'll access within the account, to activate FrontPage Extensions for it, to create custom error pages, to set a shared or a dedicated IP address if you have one, and a lot more. For your convenience, all the subdomains will be listed under their root domain, so that you can effortlessly see and manage them. With instant access links, you will also be able to open the site files for any of the subdomains that you have or view its DNS records.
