A subdomain is a part of a web address which is under the main domain name, for example name.example.com. Technically, even in www.example.com the "www" part is a subdomain because the fully qualified domain name is only "example.com". Every single subdomain can have its own web site and records and can even be hosted through a different company if you need to use some feature that's not provided 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. Additionally, you can have a forum in which they can discuss the products and by using subdomains rather than subfolders you will avoid any chance of all websites going down when you perform maintenance, or update one of the site scripts. Keeping the sites separated is more secure in case there is a script security breach.
Subdomains in Cloud Web Hosting
Our cloud web hosting plans will permit you to set up numerous subdomains for any domain address hosted inside your account without any difficulty. Assuming that the main domain is added, it requires two mouse clicks to create a subdomain and select what folder it's going to open (if different from the default one), create unique 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 convenient access and control. By right-clicking on any one of them and by using fast access buttons you can see the error logs, visitor statistics or website files for that particular subdomain. We haven't 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 need.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers
Our semi-dedicated hosting plans haven't got a restriction for the amount of subdomains that you can create. Adding a new subdomain inside the account takes just a couple of clicks in the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel and throughout the process you can select the folder the subdomain will access if it is going to be different from the default one, set up custom-made error pages, enable FrontPage Extensions if you need them or create a dedicated IP address rather than the shared server one if you have added this upgrade to your semi-dedicated account. As soon as the subdomain is created, you will be able to access logs and visitor statistics or easily jump to the site files for it in the File Manager area by using fast access buttons. All subdomains that you have within the account will be conveniently listed under their root domain, so you are going to be able to find and manage every single one of them easily.
