A subdomain is a part of a web address that is 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 only "example.com". Every subdomain can have its own website and records and can even be hosted through a different provider if you wish to use a certain feature that's not offered by your current provider. A good example for using a subdomain is if you have a business site along with an online store under a subdomain where clients can purchase your products. Additionally, you can have a forum in which they can talk about the products and by employing subdomains rather than subfolders you are going to avoid any probability of all websites going down when you perform maintenance, or update one of the website scripts. Keeping the sites separated is also less risky in the case of a script security breach.
Subdomains in Web Hosting
Our web hosting packages will permit you to set up countless subdomains for any domain name hosted in your account without any difficulty. Assuming that the main domain name is added, it will take 2 clicks to create a subdomain and pick what folder it'll open (if different from the default one), set customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions, set a shared IP address or a dedicated one, and much more. All subdomains will 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 see the error logs, visitor statistics or website files for that specific subdomain. We haven't set a restriction for the amount of subdomains which you can create with any one of our plans, so you can have as many as you wish.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting
You will be able to create as many subdomains as you want with any one of our Linux semi-dedicated hosting packages as we haven't set a maximum limit for this feature. The Hepsia website hosting Control Panel will enable you to add a new subdomain with just a few mouse clicks and you'll be able to access a variety of advanced features during the process - modify the default access folder, select the IP address the subdomain will use from the shared and dedicated ones which are available in your account, activate FrontPage Extensions, add an SSL certificate, plus much more. Even if you set up a great number of subdomains, you are going to be able to keep track of them with ease since they will be listed in alphabetical order below their main domain. For each of them, you can also access the site files or see logs and usage stats through instant access buttons.
