A subdomain is a part of a web address which is under the main domain name, such as name.example.com. From a technical perspective, even in www.example.com the "www" element is a subdomain because the fully qualified domain name is just "example.com". Every subdomain could have its own site and records and can also be hosted using a different provider if you wish to use a specific feature that is not provided by your current service provider. An illustration for using a subdomain is if you have a company 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 rather than subfolders you will avoid any risk of all websites going down if you perform maintenance, or update one of the website scripts. Keeping your websites separated is also less risky in case of a script security breach.

Subdomains in Cloud Hosting

When you obtain a cloud hosting package through our company, you will be able to create subdomains easily through your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. We've decided not to limit their amount, so in case you host just one domain name in the account, you'll be able to create as many subdomains as you would like and have a different website for every single one. During the creation of a subdomain, you'll be able to choose the folder inside the account that it'll open, set up personalized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions and error logs, select a server shared IP address or a dedicated one if you have such, and a lot more. All hosted domains and the subdomains you create for them are going to be conveniently listed in alphabetical order in one place and you'll be able to gain access to many functions for every single one of them with right-click context menus - records, files, etc.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you buy a semi-dedicated server package, you are going to be able to create as many subdomains as you'd like since this feature is unlimited. For the reason that the web hosting packages are quite powerful, we've decided not to put any cap on the amount of subdomains. Our innovative Hepsia Control Panel will allow you to create a new subdomain with no more than a couple of clicks, to select which folder it is going to access inside the account, to activate 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. For your convenience, all the subdomains are going to be listed under their root domain, allowing you to easily see and handle them. Using quick access links, you'll also be able to open the website files for any of the subdomains that you have or view its DNS records.
