A subdomain is a part of a web address that is under the main domain, such as name.example.com. From a technical perspective, even in www.example.com the "www" part is a subdomain given that the fully qualified domain name is only "example.com". Each subdomain can have its own site and records and can also be hosted with a different company if you need to use a feature that isn't provided by your current provider. A good example for using a subdomain is if you have a company site as well as an online store under a subdomain where clients can buy your products. You can also have a forum where they can comment on the products and by employing subdomains rather than subfolders you are going to avoid any chance of all sites going down if you perform maintenance, or update one of the website scripts. Keeping your sites separated is more secure in case of a script security breach.
Subdomains in Cloud Hosting
Through our cloud hosting packages you are going to be able to create subdomains with a couple of clicks in your website hosting Control Panel. All of them are going to be listed in a single spot together with the domain addresses hosted in the account and arranged under their own domain to help make their administration easier. Regardless of the plan that you select, you're going to be able to create numerous subdomains and set their access folder or create custom error pages along the way. Additionally, you will have access to a lot of functions for any of them with only a click, so from the very same section where you create them you can access their DNS records, files, visitor statistics, etc. As opposed to other providers, we have not limited the amount of subdomains which you can have even if you host one domain inside the account.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting
When you buy a semi-dedicated server package, you are going to be able to create as many subdomains as you'd like as this feature is unlimited. For the reason that the website hosting packages are quite powerful, we have decided not to set any limit on the number of subdomains. Our innovative Hepsia Control Panel will allow you to create a new subdomain with no more than a couple of mouse clicks, to select which folder it'll access inside the account, to enable FrontPage Extensions for it, to set up custom error pages, to set a shared or a dedicated IP address if you have one, and more. For your convenience, all of the subdomains will be listed under their root domain, so you can very easily see and handle them. With quick access links, you'll be able to open the site files for any one of the subdomains that you have or check out its DNS records.
