A subdomain is part of a web address which is under the main domain, for example name.example.com. Technically, even in www.example.com the "www" element is a subdomain since the fully qualified domain name is just "example.com". Every subdomain can have its own website and records and can even be hosted with a different company if you need to use a certain feature which is not offered by your current service provider. One example for using a subdomain is if you have a company website 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 will avoid any chance of all websites going down if you perform maintenance, or update one of the site scripts. Keeping your websites separated is more secure in case of a script security breach.
Subdomains in Cloud Website Hosting
Our cloud website hosting plans will enable you to set up numerous subdomains for every domain name hosted in your account without any hassle. As long as the main domain is added, it will take 2 mouse clicks to create a subdomain and choose what folder it will open (if different from the default one), set customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions, set a shared IP address or a dedicated one, and much more. All subdomains are going to be conveniently listed in alphabetical order under their main domain for easy access and management. By right-clicking on any one of them and by using instant access buttons you can see the error logs, visitor statistics or site files for that specific subdomain. We have not set a restriction for the amount of subdomains that you can create with any one of our plans, so you can have as many as you wish.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers
You’ll be able to create as many subdomains as you would like with any of our semi-dedicated servers as we have not set an upper limit for this feature. The Hepsia web hosting Control Panel allows you to add a new subdomain with just a few mouse clicks and you will 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 which are provided in your account, activate FrontPage Extensions, add an SSL certificate, and a lot more. Even if you create a large number of subdomains, you're going to be able to keep track of all of them with ease because they will be listed in alphabetical order under their main domain. For each of them, you can also access the website files or check out logs and usage statistics via quick access buttons.
