A subdomain is part of a web address that is under the main domain, for instance name.example.com. Actually, even in www.example.com the "www" element is a subdomain since the fully qualified domain name is only "example.com". Every single subdomain could have its own web site and records and can also be hosted with a different company if you wish to use a certain feature that is not provided by your current provider. An illustration for using a subdomain is if you have a business website along with an online store under a subdomain where customers can buy your products. You can even have a forum in which they can talk about the products and by using subdomains as an alternative to subfolders you will avoid any risk of all websites going down when you perform maintenance, or update one of the site scripts. Keeping your websites separated is also more secure in the case of a script security breach.

Subdomains in Hosting

Our hosting plans will permit you to set up many subdomains for every domain hosted within your account without any difficulty. If the main domain address is added, it requires two mouse clicks to create a subdomain and select what folder it will open (if different from the default one), set unique error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions, set a shared IP address or a dedicated one, and much more. All subdomains will be conveniently listed in alphabetical order under their main domain for effortless access and control. By right-clicking on any one of them and by using instant access buttons you can view the error logs, visitor statistics or website files for that specific subdomain. We haven't set a restriction for the amount of subdomains you can create with any of our plans, so you can have as many as you wish.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers

When you purchase a semi-dedicated server package, you're going to be able to create as many subdomains as you want as this feature is unrestricted. For the reason that the hosting packages are very powerful, we have decided not to put any restriction on the number of subdomains. Our innovative Hepsia CP will allow you to create a new subdomain with no more than a few mouse clicks, to select which folder it'll access in the account, to enable FrontPage Extensions for it, to set up custom error pages, to set a shared or a dedicated IP address if you have one, and much more. To make it easier for you, all of the subdomains will be listed under their root domain, so that you can very easily see and control them. Using fast access links, you'll also have the ability to open the website files for each of the subdomains that you have or check out its DNS records.
