A subdomain is a part of a web address that is under the main domain name, such as 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 just "example.com". Each subdomain could have its own web site and records and can even be hosted through a different provider if you wish to use a certain feature which is not offered by your current provider. A good example for using a subdomain is if you have a business site and an online store under a subdomain where clients can acquire your products. In addition, you can have a forum in which they can comment on the products and by employing subdomains rather than subfolders you are going to avoid any probability of all sites going down when you perform maintenance, or update one of the site scripts. Keeping the websites separated is more secure in case of a script security breach.

Subdomains in Cloud Website Hosting

Our cloud website hosting plans will allow you to set up many subdomains for every domain name hosted inside your account without any hassle. If the main domain name is added, it requires 2 mouse clicks to create a subdomain and choose what folder it will open (if different from the default one), create unique error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions, set a shared IP address or a dedicated one, plus much more. All subdomains are going to 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 instant access buttons you can view the error logs, visitor statistics or website files for that particular subdomain. We haven't 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 wish.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers

You can create as many subdomains as you would like with any one of our semi-dedicated hosting plans as we have not set a maximum limit for this feature. The Hepsia hosting CP allows you to add a new subdomain with only a few mouse clicks and you are going to be able to access a number 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 which are provided in your account, activate FrontPage Extensions, add an SSL certificate, and much 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 as they will be listed in alphabetical order under their main domain. For every single one of them, you can also access the website files or view logs and usage stats using fast access buttons.
