A subdomain is a part of a web address which is under the main domain name, for instance name.example.com. Actually, even in www.example.com the "www" element is a subdomain given that the fully qualified domain name is only "example.com". Every single subdomain could have its own site and records and can also be hosted with a different provider if you need to use a feature that is not offered by your current service provider. An example for using a subdomain is if you have a company website as well as an online store under a subdomain where clients can acquire your products. You can even have a forum in which they can comment on the products and by using subdomains instead of subfolders you will avoid any risk of all websites going down if you perform maintenance, or update one of the site scripts. Keeping the websites separated is also less risky in the event of a script security breach.
Subdomains in Web Hosting
Our web hosting plans will permit you to create countless subdomains for any domain address hosted in your account without any hassle. As long as the main domain is added, it will take 2 clicks to set up 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, plus much more. All subdomains will be conveniently listed in alphabetical order under their main domain for effortless access and management. By right-clicking on any one of them and by using quick access buttons you can view the error logs, visitor statistics or website files for that specific subdomain. We have not set a limit for the total amount of subdomains which you can create with any one of our plans, so you can have as many as you need.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers
You’re able to create as many subdomains as you wish with any of our semi-dedicated servers since we haven't set a maximum limit for this feature. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel will enable you to add a new subdomain with a few mouse clicks and you are going to be able to access a number of advanced features during the process - replace the default access folder, pick 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 much more. Even if you set up a large number of subdomains, you'll be able to keep track of them with ease as they will be listed in alphabetical order under their main domain. For every single one of them, you are able to access the web site files or view logs and usage statistics using instant access buttons.
