A subdomain is a part of a web address that's under the main domain name, for example name.example.com. Technically, 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 web site and records and can even be hosted through a different company if you need to use some feature which is not provided by your current service provider. An example for using a subdomain is if you have a company website along with an online store under a subdomain where clients can acquire your products. You can also have a forum where they can discuss the products and by employing subdomains as opposed to subfolders you are going to avoid any risk of all websites going down when you perform maintenance, or update one of the site scripts. Keeping the websites separated is also less risky in case of a script security breach.

Subdomains in Shared Web Hosting

Our shared web hosting plans will enable you to set up numerous subdomains for any domain address hosted inside your account without any hassle. As long as the main domain address is added, it takes 2 clicks to create a subdomain and pick what folder it'll 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 are going to be conveniently listed in alphabetical order under their main domain for quick access and control. By right-clicking on any one of them and by using fast access buttons you can view the error logs, visitor statistics or site files for that particular subdomain. We have not set a limit for the total amount of subdomains you can create with any of our plans, so you can have as many as you need.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You’re able to create as many subdomains as you would like with any one of our Linux semi-dedicated hosting packages because we haven't set a maximum limit for this feature. The Hepsia website hosting Control Panel allows you to add a new subdomain with only a few clicks and you'll be able to access a number of advanced features during the process - change the default access folder, choose the IP address the subdomain will use from the shared and dedicated ones that are offered in your account, activate FrontPage Extensions, add an SSL certificate, and more. Even if you create a large number of subdomains, you'll be able to keep track of them with ease because they are going to be listed in alphabetical order below their main domain. For any of them, you can even access the website files or check out logs and usage statistics using quick access buttons.
