A subdomain is a part of a web address that is under the main domain, for instance name.example.com. Technically, even in www.example.com the "www" part is a subdomain since the fully qualified domain name is only "example.com". Each subdomain can have its own website and records and can also be hosted with a different provider if you want to use a specific feature which isn't offered 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 customers can purchase your products. You can even have a forum in which they can discuss the products and by employing subdomains instead of 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 websites separated is more secure in the case of a script security breach.

Subdomains in Cloud Hosting

Each cloud hosting package that we offer will allow you to create hundreds of subdomains with no more than a few clicks in your hosting CP. They will all be listed in the section where you create them and arranged under the main domain for more convenience, so that you can effortlessly keep tabs on them all. 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 site files, and much more. While setting up a new subdomain, you're also going to have a number of options that you can pick from - specify the default access folder, set customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or decide if the subdomain is going to use a shared or a dedicated IP address. How many subdomains you will have is 100 % up to you since we have not restricted this feature for any one of our packages.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you purchase a semi-dedicated server plan, you're going to be able to create as many subdomains as you wish simply because this feature is unrestricted. For the reason that the website hosting plans are very powerful, we've decided not to set any limit on the number of subdomains. Our innovative Hepsia CP will permit you to create a new subdomain with no more than a few mouse clicks, to select which folder it's going to access within the account, to enable FrontPage Extensions for it, to set up unique error pages, to create a shared or a dedicated IP address if you have one, and many more. To make it easier for you, all the subdomains will be listed under their root domain, allowing you to effortlessly see and handle them. With fast access links, you'll also be able to open the website files for any one of the subdomains that you have or view its DNS records.
