A subdomain is part of a web address which is under the main domain, for example name.example.com. From a technical perspective, even in www.example.com the "www" element is a subdomain since the fully qualified domain name is only "example.com". Every single subdomain can have its own site and records and can also be hosted with a different provider if you wish to use a feature which isn't provided by your current provider. An illustration for using a subdomain is if you have a company site as well as an online store under a subdomain where customers can buy your products. Additionally, you can have a forum where they can comment on the products and by employing subdomains as opposed to subfolders you will avoid any chance of all websites going down when you perform maintenance, or update one of the site scripts. Keeping the websites separated is less risky in case there is a script security breach.

Subdomains in Web Hosting

Each and every web hosting package that we supply will permit you to create many subdomains with no more than a few mouse clicks within your hosting Control Panel. They are going to be listed in the area in which you create them and grouped under the main domain for more convenience, to help you easily keep tabs on all of them. Additionally, you can access lots of functions for any one of the subdomains using right-click context menus - for instance, you can view or modify their DNS records, access the website files, plus much more. While setting up a new subdomain, you'll also have a number of options that you can select from - define the default access folder, set unique error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or pick if the subdomain will use a shared or a dedicated IP address. What number of subdomains you are going to have is completely up to you as we haven't restricted this feature for any of our packages.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers

When you buy a semi-dedicated server package, you're going to be able to create as many subdomains as you wish because this feature is unlimited. Since the web hosting plans are quite powerful, we've decided not to put any cap on the amount of subdomains. Our sophisticated Hepsia Control Panel will enable you to create a new subdomain with no more than a couple of clicks, to select which folder it's going to access within the account, to activate FrontPage Extensions for it, to create unique error pages, to create a shared or a dedicated IP address if you have one, and many more. For your convenience, all the subdomains are going to be listed under their root domain, so that you can easily see and control them. Through instant access links, you will also be able to open the website files for any of the subdomains that you have or check out its DNS records.
