A subdomain is a part of a web address that's under the main domain, for example name.example.com. Actually, even in www.example.com the "www" part is a subdomain given that the fully qualified domain name is only "example.com". Each subdomain can have its own web site and records and can also be hosted using a different provider if you wish to use a specific feature which isn't offered by your current service provider. An example for using a subdomain is if you have a company website as well as an online store under a subdomain where customers can acquire your products. You can also have a forum in which they can discuss the products and by using subdomains as an alternative to 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 the sites separated is more secure in case of a script security breach.
Subdomains in Shared Web Hosting
Our shared web hosting plans will permit you to create hundreds of subdomains for every domain hosted within your account without any problem. If the main domain name is added, it takes two clicks to set up a subdomain and choose what folder it's going to open (if different from the default one), set custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions, set a shared IP address or a dedicated one, and 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 see the error logs, visitor statistics or website files for that particular subdomain. We have not set a restriction for the total number of subdomains which you can create with any one of our plans, so you can have as many as you want.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting
You will be able to create as many subdomains as you want with any of our Linux semi-dedicated hosting since we haven't set an upper limit for this feature. The Hepsia hosting CP will permit you to add a new subdomain with just a few clicks and you can access a number of advanced features during the process - modify the default access folder, pick the IP address the subdomain will use from the shared and dedicated ones which are provided in your account, activate FrontPage Extensions, add an SSL certificate, and much more. Even if you set up a great number of subdomains, you're going to be able to keep track of all of them with ease since they will be listed in alphabetical order under their main domain. For each of them, you can also access the site files or check out logs and usage statistics via fast access buttons.
