A subdomain is a part of a web address that is under the main domain name, for example name.example.com. Technically, even in www.example.com the "www" element is a subdomain because the fully qualified domain name is only "example.com". Each subdomain can have its own website and records and can even be hosted with a different provider if you wish to use some feature which isn't offered by your current provider. An illustration for using a subdomain is if you have a company website along with an online store under a subdomain where clients can purchase your products. You can even have a forum where they can comment on the products and by employing subdomains as an alternative to subfolders you'll avoid any chance of all sites going down if you perform maintenance, or update one of the site scripts. Keeping the sites separated is less risky in case there is a script security breach.
Subdomains in Shared Hosting
Using our shared hosting plans you'll be able to create subdomains with just a couple of clicks in your website hosting CP. All of them will be listed in a single place along with the domains hosted in the account and arranged under their own domain to help make their managing easier. Whatever the plan that you choose, you will be able to create hundreds of subdomains and set their access folder or set up custom error pages during the process. You will also have access to lots of functions for any of them with just a mouse click, so from the exact same section where you create them you can access their DNS records, files, visitor statistics, etc. As opposed to other companies, we have not limited the amount of subdomains you can have even if you host just one domain within the account.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers
When you acquire a semi-dedicated server plan, you're going to be able to create as many subdomains as you wish as this feature is unlimited. For the reason that the hosting plans are very powerful, we've decided not to put any limit on the number of subdomains. Our innovative Hepsia CP will enable you to create a new subdomain with no more than a couple of mouse clicks, to select which folder it'll access in the account, to enable FrontPage Extensions for it, to create unique error pages, to create a shared or a dedicated IP address if you have one, and many more. For your convenience, all the subdomains are going to be listed under their root domain, so you can very easily see and handle them. With fast access links, you'll have the ability to open the site files for each of the subdomains that you have or view its DNS records.
