A subdomain is a part of a web address that's under the main domain, such as name.example.com. Actually, even in www.example.com the "www" part is a subdomain since the fully qualified domain name is only "example.com". Every subdomain can have its own site and records and can even be hosted through a different company if you need to use a feature that's not offered by your current 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 discuss the products and by using subdomains rather than subfolders you will avoid any risk of all websites going down if you perform maintenance, or update one of the website scripts. Keeping your websites separated is also less risky in the event of a script security breach.

Subdomains in Hosting

Our hosting packages will allow you to set up countless subdomains for any domain name hosted inside your account without any difficulty. Provided that the main domain name is added, it will take two mouse clicks to set up a subdomain and pick what folder it's going to open (if different from the default one), create customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions, set a shared IP address or a dedicated one, plus much more. All subdomains are going to be conveniently listed in alphabetical order under their main domain for quick 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 particular subdomain. We have not set a restriction for the total number of subdomains you can create with any of our plans, so you can have as many as you wish.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting

When you buy a semi-dedicated server package, you will be able to create as many subdomains as you would like as this feature is unrestricted. Since the hosting plans are quite powerful, we've decided not to set any limit on the amount of subdomains. Our sophisticated Hepsia CP will allow you to create a new subdomain with no more than a few mouse clicks, to pick which folder it's going to access within the account, to activate FrontPage Extensions for it, to set up custom 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 of the subdomains will be listed under their root domain, so you can easily see and control them. Through quick access links, you'll also be able to open the site files for each of the subdomains that you have or see its DNS records.
