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

Subdomains in Cloud Hosting

Each cloud hosting plan we provide will allow you to create hundreds of subdomains with no more than a few mouse clicks in your web hosting Control Panel. They'll all be listed in the section where you create them and grouped under the main domain for more convenience, to help you very easily keep track of them all. Furthermore, you can access lots of functions for any one of the subdomains using right-click context menus - as an example, you can view or edit their DNS records, access the site files, and more. While creating a new subdomain, you're also going to have lots of options that you can choose from - define the default access folder, set unique error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or choose if the subdomain is going to use a shared or a dedicated IP address. How many subdomains you are going to have is totally up to you as we haven't restricted this feature for any one of our plans.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers

You can create as many subdomains as you want with any of our semi-dedicated servers since we haven't set an upper limit for this feature. The Hepsia web hosting Control Panel will permit you to add a new subdomain with just a few mouse clicks and you'll be able to access a number of advanced features during the process - modify the default access folder, choose the IP address the subdomain will use from the shared and dedicated ones that are provided in your account, activate FrontPage Extensions, add an SSL certificate, and much more. Even if you create a huge amount of subdomains, you will be able to keep track of all of them with ease because they will be listed in alphabetical order below their main domain. For every single one of them, you can even access the website files or see logs and usage statistics using instant access buttons.
