A subdomain is a part of a web address that's under the main domain name, for instance name.example.com. Technically, even in www.example.com the "www" element is a subdomain since the fully qualified domain name is only "example.com". Every subdomain can have its own web site and records and can also be hosted with a different provider if you wish to use a specific feature which is not provided by your current service provider. An illustration 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 where they can discuss the products and by using subdomains as opposed to subfolders you are going to avoid any chance of all sites going down when you perform maintenance, or update one of the site scripts. Keeping your sites separated is also less risky in case of a script security breach.
Subdomains in Shared Hosting
Our shared hosting plans will allow you to create countless subdomains for any domain address hosted inside your account without any problem. Provided that the main domain address is added, it requires 2 mouse clicks to create a subdomain and select what folder it'll open (if different from the default one), create customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions, set a shared IP address or a dedicated one, and more. All subdomains are going to be conveniently listed in alphabetical order under their main domain for convenient access and administration. By right-clicking on any of them and by using quick access buttons you can see the error logs, visitor statistics or website files for that particular subdomain. We have not set a limit for the total amount of subdomains that you can create with any of our plans, so you can have as many as you wish.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers
Our Linux semi-dedicated hosting plans do not have a restriction for the amount of subdomains which you can create. Adding a new subdomain inside the account takes only a couple of mouse clicks within the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel and during the process you can pick the folder the subdomain is going to access if it is going to be different from the default one, set up custom-made error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions if you need them or create a dedicated IP address rather than the shared server one in case you have added such an upgrade to your semi-dedicated account. Once the subdomain is set up, you'll be able to access logs and visitor statistics or easily jump to the website files for it within the File Manager area by using fast access buttons. All subdomains that you have in the account are going to be conveniently listed under their root domain, so you are going to be able to find and control every single one of them effortlessly.
