A subdomain is a part of a web address that's under the main domain name, for instance name.example.com. Technically, even in www.example.com the "www" part is a subdomain given that the fully qualified domain name is only "example.com". Every single subdomain can have its own web site and records and can also be hosted using a different provider if you want to use a certain feature that is not offered by your current service provider. An example for using a subdomain is if you have a business website along with an online store under a subdomain where customers can purchase your products. You can also have a forum where they can discuss the products and by using subdomains instead of subfolders you are going to avoid any chance of all sites going down when you perform maintenance, or update one of the site scripts. Keeping the websites separated is also more secure in the case of a script security breach.

Subdomains in Shared Hosting

Every shared hosting package that we offer will allow you to create many subdomains with no more than a couple of clicks inside your website hosting Control Panel. They'll all be listed in the section where you create them and grouped under the main domain for more convenience, so you can effortlessly keep an eye on them all. Additionally, you can access a lot of functions for any of the subdomains using right-click context menus - for example, you can view or change their DNS records, access the site files, and a lot more. While setting up a new subdomain, you'll also have a number of options that you can choose from - specify the default access folder, set custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or pick if the subdomain will use a shared or a dedicated IP address. The number of subdomains you'll have is totally up to you since we haven't limited this feature for any one of our packages.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers

You’ll be able to create as many subdomains as you want with any one of our semi-dedicated plans as we have not set a maximum limit for this feature. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel will enable you to add a new subdomain with just a few mouse clicks and you'll be able to access a variety of advanced features during the process - change the default access folder, select the IP address the subdomain will use from the shared and dedicated ones which are offered in your account, activate FrontPage Extensions, add an SSL certificate, and a lot 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 because they will be listed in alphabetical order under their main domain. For any of them, you can even access the web site files or check out logs and usage statistics through quick access buttons.
