A subdomain is a part of a web address that's under the main domain name, such as name.example.com. From a technical perspective, even in www.example.com the "www" element is a subdomain because the fully qualified domain name is just "example.com". Every single subdomain can have its own website and records and can even be hosted with a different company if you want to use a certain feature that's not 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 purchase your products. Additionally, you can have a forum in which they can discuss the products and by employing subdomains instead of subfolders you'll avoid any probability of all sites going down if you perform maintenance, or update one of the site scripts. Keeping your websites separated is more secure in the event of a script security breach.

Subdomains in Website Hosting

Every single website hosting plan which we supply will enable you to create many subdomains with no more than a few clicks within 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 an eye on all of them. In addition, 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 website files, and more. While creating a new subdomain, you will also have many options that you can select from - define the default access folder, set unique error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or choose if the subdomain is going to use a shared or a dedicated IP address. How many subdomains you are going to have is totally up to you since we haven't limited this feature for any of our plans.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting

When you buy a semi-dedicated server package, you're going to be able to create as many subdomains as you wish simply because this feature is unrestricted. Since the web hosting packages are rather powerful, we've decided not to set any restriction on the number of subdomains. Our advanced Hepsia Control Panel will allow you to create a new subdomain with no more than a few clicks, to select which folder it will access within the account, to activate FrontPage Extensions for it, to create custom error pages, to create a shared or a dedicated IP address if you have one, and more. For your convenience, all of the subdomains are going to be listed under their root domain, so you can easily see and control them. Using instant access links, you'll have the ability to open the website files for any one of the subdomains that you have or see its DNS records.
