A subdomain is a part of a web address which is under the main domain, 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 single subdomain can have its own website and records and can also be hosted through a different provider if you wish to use a specific feature that isn't offered by your current service provider. A good example for using a subdomain is if you have a business site along with an online store under a subdomain where customers can buy your products. Additionally, you can have a forum in which they can comment on the products and by employing subdomains as opposed to subfolders you'll avoid any risk of all websites going down if you perform maintenance, or update one of the website scripts. Keeping your websites separated is less risky in case of a script security breach.

Subdomains in Website Hosting

Our website hosting packages will enable you to create many subdomains for every domain name hosted within your account without any problem. If the main domain is added, it takes 2 clicks to create a subdomain and choose what folder it's going to open (if different from the default one), create customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions, set a shared IP address or a dedicated one, plus much more. All subdomains will be conveniently listed in alphabetical order under their main domain for quick access and management. By right-clicking on any 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 restriction for the total amount of subdomains you can create with any one of our plans, so you can have as many as you wish.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you get a semi-dedicated server plan, you are going to be able to create as many subdomains as you'd like simply because this feature is unrestricted. Since the website hosting packages are very powerful, we have decided not to set any limit on the number of subdomains. Our sophisticated Hepsia CP will permit you to create a new subdomain with no more than a few clicks, to pick which folder it's going to access inside the account, to activate FrontPage Extensions for it, to create custom error pages, to create a shared or a dedicated IP address if you have one, and much more. For your convenience, all of the subdomains will be listed under their root domain, so that you can effortlessly see and handle them. Using quick access links, you will also be able to open the site files for any one of the subdomains that you have or see its DNS records.
