A subdomain is part of a web address that is under the main domain name, for instance name.example.com. Technically, even in www.example.com the "www" element is a subdomain given that the fully qualified domain name is only "example.com". Every subdomain could have its own site and records and can also be hosted through a different company if you want to use some feature which is not provided by your current service provider. A good example for using a subdomain is if you have a business site along with an online store under a subdomain where customers can purchase your products. You can also have a forum in which they can discuss the products and by employing subdomains instead of subfolders you'll 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 more secure in the event of a script security breach.

Subdomains in Shared Hosting

Our shared hosting packages will enable you to create countless subdomains for every domain name hosted within your account without any difficulty. If the main domain is added, it takes two clicks to create a subdomain and choose what folder it'll 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 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 site files for that specific subdomain. We have not set a limit for the total number of subdomains you can create with any of our plans, so you can have as many as you want.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting

When you buy a semi-dedicated server package, you'll be able to create as many subdomains as you want because this feature is unlimited. For the reason that the website hosting packages are quite powerful, we've decided not to put any cap on the amount of subdomains. Our innovative Hepsia CP will permit you to create a new subdomain with no more than a couple of clicks, to choose which folder it will access within the account, to enable FrontPage Extensions for it, to set up unique error pages, to set a shared or a dedicated IP address if you have one, and many more. To make it easier for you, all subdomains are going to be listed under their root domain, so you can easily see and manage them. Using fast access links, you'll be able to open the website files for any of the subdomains that you have or view its DNS records.
