A subdomain is a part of a web address that's under the main domain name, such as name.example.com. From a technical perspective, even in www.example.com the "www" part is a subdomain because the fully qualified domain name is just "example.com". Every subdomain can have its own site and records and can even be hosted with a different company if you want to use a specific feature that's not provided by your current provider. An example for using a subdomain is if you have a company website and an online store under a subdomain where clients can purchase your products. Additionally, you can have a forum where they can discuss the products and by using subdomains rather than subfolders you will avoid any probability of all sites going down if you perform maintenance, or update one of the website scripts. Keeping the websites separated is also more secure in case of a script security breach.
Subdomains in Web Hosting
When you purchase a web hosting package from our company, you will be able to create subdomains easily via your Hepsia website hosting CP. We have decided not to restrict their amount, so in case you host only one domain address in the account, you will be able to create as many subdomains as you wish and have a different site for each one. During the creation of a subdomain, you can pick the folder within the account that it will open, create customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions and error logs, select a server shared IP address or a dedicated one if you have such, and more. All hosted domain names and the subdomains that you create for them are going to be conveniently listed in alphabetical order in one location and you'll be able to access numerous functions for every single one of them through right-click context menus - records, files, etc.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Our Linux semi-dedicated hosting packages haven't got a restriction for the number of subdomains that you can create. Adding a new subdomain in the account takes only a few clicks inside the Hepsia website hosting CP and throughout the process you can choose the folder the subdomain is going to access if it is going to be different from the default one, set up tailor-made error pages, enable FrontPage Extensions if you need them or create a dedicated IP address instead of the shared server one provided you have added this upgrade to your semi-dedicated account. When the subdomain is created, you can access logs and visitor statistics or you can swiftly jump to the website files for it in the File Manager area through instant access buttons. All subdomains that you've got in the account will be conveniently listed under their root domain, so you'll be able to find and handle any one of them easily.
