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" part 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 through a different company if you need to use a certain feature that is not provided by your current service provider. An illustration for using a subdomain is if you have a company site and an online store under a subdomain where customers can buy your products. In addition, you can have a forum in which they can talk about the products and by using subdomains rather than subfolders you'll avoid any probability of all sites going down if you perform maintenance, or update one of the website scripts. Keeping the sites separated is also less risky in the event 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 just a couple of mouse clicks in your website hosting CP. All of them are going to be listed in a single place along with the domains hosted in the account and arranged under their own domain in order to make their managing easier. No matter the plan that you choose, you're going to be able to create numerous subdomains and set their access folder or create custom error pages along the way. You will also have access to numerous functions for any of them with only a mouse click, so from the exact same section in which you create them you can access their DNS records, files, visitor statistics, etc. As opposed to other companies, we have not limited the number of subdomains you can have even if you host just one domain inside the account.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers
You can create as many subdomains as you would like with any one of our semi-dedicated plans because we have not 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 are going to be able to access a variety of advanced features during the process - replace the default access folder, select the IP address the subdomain will use from the shared and dedicated ones that are available in your account, activate FrontPage Extensions, add an SSL certificate, and much more. Even if you create a great number of subdomains, you'll be able to keep track of all of them with ease since they will be listed in alphabetical order under their main domain. For any of them, you can also access the website files or see logs and usage statistics using quick access buttons.
