A subdomain is a part of a web address that's under the main domain, for instance name.example.com. Actually, even in www.example.com the "www" element 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 through a different provider if you need to use a specific feature that's not provided by your current provider. An example for using a subdomain is if you have a business website as well as an online store under a subdomain where customers can purchase your products. You can also have a forum where they can talk about the products and by employing subdomains as opposed to subfolders you are going to avoid any chance of all sites going down if you perform maintenance, or update one of the website scripts. Keeping your sites separated is also less risky in case there is a script security breach.

Subdomains in Cloud Hosting

If you get a cloud hosting plan from our company, you're going to be able to create subdomains with ease through your Hepsia website hosting CP. We've decided not to limit their number, so in case you host only 1 domain in the account, you'll be able to create as many subdomains as you would like and have a different website for each one of them. During the creation of a subdomain, you are able to pick the folder inside the account that it will open, set up customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions and error logs, choose a server shared IP address or a dedicated one if you have such, and more. All hosted domains and the subdomains you create for them are going to be conveniently listed in alphabetical order in one spot and you'll be able to gain access to lots of functions for every one of them with right-click context menus - records, files, etc.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our Linux semi-dedicated servers do not have a limit for the amount of subdomains you can create. Adding a new subdomain within the account takes only a couple of clicks within the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel and throughout the process you can pick the folder the subdomain is going to access if it will be different from the default one, create tailor-made error pages, enable FrontPage Extensions if you need them or set a dedicated IP address as opposed to the shared server one provided you have added such an upgrade to your semi-dedicated account. When the subdomain is set up, you can access logs and visitor stats or you can swiftly jump to the website files for it inside the File Manager area through quick access buttons. All subdomains you've got within the account are going to be conveniently listed under their root domain, so you will be able to find and control any of them with ease.
