A subdomain is part of a web address that's under the main domain, for instance name.example.com. Technically, even in www.example.com the "www" part is a subdomain since the fully qualified domain name is just "example.com". Each subdomain can have its own web site and records and can also be hosted with a different company if you need to use a feature which is not offered by your current provider. One example 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. Additionally, you can have a forum where they can discuss the products and by employing subdomains instead of subfolders you'll avoid any probability of all sites going down when you perform maintenance, or update one of the site scripts. Keeping the websites separated is also more secure in case of a script security breach.

Subdomains in Cloud Web Hosting

When you use cloud web hosting packages you'll be able to create subdomains with a few mouse clicks in your web hosting Control Panel. All of them will be listed in one location along with the domain addresses hosted in the account and arranged under their own domain so as to make their management easier. No matter the plan that you choose, you're going to be able to create hundreds of subdomains and set their access folder or set up custom error pages during the process. You will also have access to a lot of functions for any of them with just a click, so from the same section in which you create them you can access their DNS records, files, visitor statistics, etc. In contrast to other companies, we have not restricted the number of subdomains that you can have even if you host just one domain address within the account.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our semi-dedicated servers do not have a restriction for the amount of subdomains which you can create. Adding a new subdomain in the account takes only a couple of mouse clicks within the Hepsia hosting CP and throughout the process you can choose the folder the subdomain is going to access if it will be different from the default one, set up customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions if you need them or create a dedicated IP address rather than the shared server one provided you have added such an upgrade to your semi-dedicated account. Once the subdomain is created, you can access logs and visitor statistics or swiftly jump to the site files for it within the File Manager section by using fast access buttons. All subdomains that you have in the account are going to be conveniently listed under their root domain, so you are going to be able to find and manage every single one of them effortlessly.
