A subdomain is a part of a web address which is under the main domain, such as name.example.com. Technically, even in www.example.com the "www" element is a subdomain given that the fully qualified domain name is just "example.com". Every subdomain could have its own website and records and can even be hosted through a different company if you need to use a specific feature that isn't provided by your current provider. An example for using a subdomain is if you have a company website and an online store under a subdomain where clients can buy your products. You can also have a forum where they can comment on the products and by employing subdomains instead of subfolders you will avoid any risk of all sites going down when you perform maintenance, or update one of the site scripts. Keeping your sites separated is also more secure in the event of a script security breach.

Subdomains in Web Hosting

When you use web hosting plans you are going to be able to create subdomains with just a few clicks in your web hosting CP. All of them are going to be listed in one place along with the domain names hosted in the account and grouped under their own domain so as to make their management easier. No matter the plan that you pick, you are going to be able to create hundreds of subdomains and set their access folder or set up custom error pages along the way. You'll have access to numerous functions for any of them with only a mouse click, so from the same section where you create them you can access their DNS records, files, visitor statistics, etc. In contrast to other providers, we have not limited the number of subdomains you can have even if you host only one domain within the account.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our Linux semi-dedicated hosting service don't have a set limit for the amount of subdomains you can create. Adding a new subdomain within the account takes only a few mouse clicks inside the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and during the process you can choose the folder the subdomain is going to access if it is going to be different from the default one, set up tailor-made 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. After 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 through fast access buttons. All subdomains that you've got within the account will be conveniently listed under their root domain, so you will be able to find and manage any of them with ease.
