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 because the fully qualified domain name is only "example.com". Every subdomain could have its own website and records and can even be hosted with a different company if you need to use a specific feature that isn't provided by your current provider. An example for using a subdomain is if you have a business website and an online store under a subdomain where customers can buy your products. You can also have a forum where they can talk about the products and by using subdomains as an alternative to subfolders you'll avoid any risk of all sites going down if you perform maintenance, or update one of the site scripts. Keeping your sites separated is also more secure in case of a script security breach.

Subdomains in Cloud Hosting

When you buy a cloud hosting plan from our company, you are going to be able to create subdomains easily via your Hepsia website hosting Control Panel. We've decided not to restrict their number, so in case you host just one domain in the account, you're going to be able to create as many subdomains as you wish and have a different website for every one. During the creation of a subdomain, you can pick the folder inside the account that it'll open, create customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions and error logs, pick a server shared IP address or a dedicated one if you have such, plus much more. All hosted domain addresses and the subdomains you create for them are going to be conveniently listed in alphabetical order in one location and you are going to be able to gain access to many functions for each one of them through right-click context menus - records, files, etc.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Our Linux semi-dedicated hosting do not have a limit for the number of subdomains you can create. Adding a new subdomain inside the account takes just a few mouse clicks in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and throughout the process you can pick the folder the subdomain is going to access if it will be different from the default one, set up custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions if you need them or set 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 stats or quickly jump to the site files for it inside the File Manager area by using fast access buttons. All subdomains you have within the account are going to be conveniently listed under their root domain, so you're going to be able to find and manage any of them effortlessly.
