A subdomain is a part of a web address that is under the main domain name, for instance name.example.com. Actually, even in www.example.com the "www" part is a subdomain since the fully qualified domain name is just "example.com". Every subdomain could have its own site and records and can also be hosted through a different provider if you need to use a specific feature that is not offered by your current service provider. One example for using a subdomain is if you have a company website as well as an online store under a subdomain where clients can buy your products. You can also have a forum where they can talk about the products and by using subdomains rather than subfolders you'll avoid any chance of all websites going down if you perform maintenance, or update one of the site scripts. Keeping your sites separated is more secure in case there is a script security breach.

Subdomains in Shared Hosting

Every single shared hosting package which we supply will permit you to create numerous subdomains with no more than a couple of clicks inside your web hosting CP. They're going to be listed in the area where you create them and grouped under the main domain for more convenience, so that you can very easily keep tabs on every one of them. Additionally, you can access many functions for any one of the subdomains via right-click context menus - for instance, you can view or change their DNS records, access the website files, and much more. While creating a new subdomain, you will also have a number of options that you can choose from - determine the default access folder, create custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or pick if the subdomain is going to use a shared or a dedicated IP address. How many subdomains you'll have is 100 % up to you because we haven't restricted this feature for any of our packages.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Our Linux semi-dedicated packages do not have a limit for the number of subdomains which you can create. Adding a new subdomain in the account takes only a few mouse clicks inside the Hepsia web hosting CP and during the process you can pick the folder the subdomain will access if it will be different from the default one, create custom error pages, enable FrontPage Extensions if you need them or create a dedicated IP address as opposed to the shared server one if you have added such an upgrade to your semi-dedicated account. When the subdomain is created, you will be able to access logs and visitor statistics or swiftly jump to the site files for it within the File Manager area using quick access buttons. All subdomains you've got within the account will be conveniently listed under their root domain, so you'll be able to find and handle any one of them effortlessly.
