A subdomain is a part of a web address which is under the main domain name, 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". Each subdomain can have its own website and records and can even be hosted using a different company if you wish to use some feature that is not provided by your current provider. An illustration for using a subdomain is if you have a business website and an online store under a subdomain where clients can acquire your products. Additionally, you can have a forum in which they can comment on the products and by using subdomains rather than subfolders you are going to avoid any risk of all sites going down when you perform maintenance, or update one of the website scripts. Keeping your websites separated is also more secure in case of a script security breach.

Subdomains in Website Hosting

When you use website hosting packages you're going to be able to create subdomains with a few clicks in your web hosting Control Panel. All of them are going to be listed in one place together with the domain names hosted in the account and arranged under their own domain so as to make their administration easier. No matter the plan that you pick, you'll be able to create hundreds of subdomains and set their access folder or set up custom error pages during the process. Additionally, you will have access to lots of functions for any of them with only a mouse click, so from the same section where you create them you can access their DNS records, files, visitor statistics, etc. Unlike other providers, we have not restricted the amount of subdomains which you can have even if you host just one domain name within the account.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers

You’re able to create as many subdomains as you would like with any one of our Linux semi-dedicated plans because we haven't set a maximum limit for this feature. The Hepsia hosting CP will allow you to add a new subdomain with a few mouse clicks and you'll be able to access a variety of advanced features during the process - modify the default access folder, select 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 huge amount of subdomains, you are going to be able to keep track of all of them with ease because they are going to be listed in alphabetical order under their main domain. For any of them, you can even access the site files or check out logs and usage stats using fast access buttons.
