A subdomain is a part of a web address which 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 only "example.com". Every single subdomain can have its own web site and records and can also be hosted using a different provider 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 business site as well as an online store under a subdomain where customers can purchase your products. In addition, you can have a forum where they can discuss the products and by using subdomains rather than subfolders you will avoid any probability of all sites going down if you perform maintenance, or update one of the website scripts. Keeping your websites separated is more secure in the case of a script security breach.

Subdomains in Cloud Website Hosting

Each cloud website hosting plan we provide will allow you to create many subdomains with no more than a couple of mouse clicks in your web hosting Control Panel. They're going to be listed in the area in which you create them and grouped under the main domain for more convenience, so you can effortlessly monitor every one of them. Additionally, you can access lots of functions for any one of the subdomains through right-click context menus - for example, you can view or edit their DNS records, access the website files, plus much more. While setting up a new subdomain, you'll also have a number of options that you can choose from - determine the default access folder, set custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or pick if the subdomain is going to use a shared or a dedicated IP address. How many subdomains you'll have is completely up to you because we haven't limited this feature for any one of our packages.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our semi-dedicated hosting plans do not have a set limit for the amount of subdomains which you can create. Adding a new subdomain inside the account takes only a few mouse clicks within the Hepsia web hosting CP and in the process you can select the folder the subdomain will access if it will be different from the default one, create custom error pages, enable FrontPage Extensions if you need them or create a dedicated IP address instead of the shared server one in case you have added such an upgrade to your semi-dedicated account. Once the subdomain is set up, you can access logs and visitor stats or quickly jump to the site files for it in the File Manager section via fast access buttons. All subdomains that you've got within the account are going to be conveniently listed under their root domain, so you're going to be able to find and handle any one of them easily.
