A subdomain is a part of a web address which is under the main domain, for instance name.example.com. From a technical perspective, even in www.example.com the "www" element is a subdomain given that the fully qualified domain name is only "example.com". Every subdomain can have its own web site and records and can even be hosted with a different company if you want to use a certain feature that's not provided by your current service provider. One example for using a subdomain is if you have a business website as well as an online store under a subdomain where clients can purchase your products. Additionally, you can have a forum in which they can comment on the products and by using subdomains instead of subfolders you are going to avoid any chance of all sites 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 Cloud Hosting
With our cloud hosting plans you are going to be able to create subdomains with just a few clicks in your hosting Control Panel. All of them will be listed in one spot along with the domain addresses hosted in the account and arranged under their own domain to help make their management much easier. Regardless of the plan that you choose, you will be able to create many subdomains and set their access folder or create custom error pages along the way. Additionally, you'll have access to numerous functions for any of them with just a click, so from the very same section where you create them you can access their DNS records, files, visitor statistics, etc. Unlike other providers, we haven't restricted the number of subdomains you can have even if you host only one domain address in the account.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers
You are able to create as many subdomains as you would like with any of our semi-dedicated service because we haven't set an upper limit for this feature. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel will allow you to add a new subdomain with only a few mouse clicks and you will be able to access a number of advanced features during the process - modify the default access folder, pick the IP address the subdomain will use from the shared and dedicated ones which are offered in your account, activate FrontPage Extensions, add an SSL certificate, and a lot more. Even if you create a huge amount of subdomains, you'll be able to keep track of them with ease because they will be listed in alphabetical order below their main domain. For each of them, you can even access the website files or see logs and usage statistics via instant access buttons.
