A subdomain is a part of a web address that is under the main domain name, such as name.example.com. Actually, even in www.example.com the "www" part is a subdomain because the fully qualified domain name is just "example.com". Every subdomain can have its own site and records and can also be hosted through a different company if you need to use some feature which isn't offered by your current service provider. An example for using a subdomain is if you have a business website as well as an online store under a subdomain where clients can buy your products. Additionally, you can have a forum in which they can comment on 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 website scripts. Keeping your websites separated is more secure in case of a script security breach.

Subdomains in Shared Hosting

Our shared hosting packages will permit you to set up countless subdomains for every domain name hosted in your account without any hassle. Provided that the main domain is added, it requires 2 clicks to create a subdomain and select what folder it's going to open (if different from the default one), set unique error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions, set a shared IP address or a dedicated one, and a lot more. All subdomains are going to be conveniently listed in alphabetical order under their main domain for effortless access and control. By right-clicking on any one of them and by using quick access buttons you can view the error logs, visitor statistics or site files for that specific subdomain. We have not set a limit for the total number of subdomains which you can create with any of our plans, so you can have as many as you wish.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our Linux semi-dedicated servers don't have a restriction for the amount of subdomains that you can create. Adding a new subdomain within the account takes only a couple of mouse clicks within the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel and during the process you can pick the folder the subdomain is going to access if it is going to be different from the default one, set up custom-made error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions if you need them or set a dedicated IP address instead of the shared server one provided you have added this upgrade to your semi-dedicated account. As soon as the subdomain is set up, you'll be able to access logs and visitor statistics or swiftly jump to the website files for it in the File Manager section by using quick access buttons. All subdomains 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 of them with ease.
