A subdomain is part of a web address which is under the main domain, for example name.example.com. Actually, even in www.example.com the "www" part is a subdomain because the fully qualified domain name is only "example.com". Every single subdomain can have its own website and records and can even be hosted through a different company if you want to use some feature that is not offered by your current provider. An example for using a subdomain is if you have a company website along with an online store under a subdomain where customers can purchase your products. In addition, you can have a forum where they can discuss the products and by using subdomains as an alternative to subfolders you are going to avoid any risk of all sites going down when you perform maintenance, or update one of the site scripts. Keeping the sites separated is less risky in case of a script security breach.
Subdomains in Shared Web Hosting
Our shared web hosting packages will permit you to set up countless subdomains for every domain name hosted inside your account without any problem. Assuming that the main domain is added, it requires two mouse clicks to create a subdomain and select what folder it will 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 will 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 fast access buttons you can view the error logs, visitor statistics or site files for that specific subdomain. We haven't set a restriction for the total amount of subdomains that you can create with any of our plans, so you can have as many as you want.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Our Linux semi-dedicated hosting do not have a limit for the amount of subdomains which you can create. Adding a new subdomain inside the account takes just a couple of clicks inside the Hepsia web hosting CP and in the process you can select the folder the subdomain will access if it is going to be different from the default one, set up custom-made error pages, enable FrontPage Extensions if you need them or create a dedicated IP address as opposed to the shared server one if you have added this upgrade to your semi-dedicated account. As soon as the subdomain is created, you will be able to access logs and visitor stats or you can easily jump to the website files for it in the File Manager section through instant access buttons. All subdomains that you've got in the account are going to be conveniently listed under their root domain, so you'll be able to find and handle any one of them with ease.
