A subdomain is a part of a web address that's under the main domain, such as name.example.com. From a technical perspective, even in www.example.com the "www" element is a subdomain because the fully qualified domain name is only "example.com". Every subdomain could have its own site and records and can even be hosted using a different provider if you need to use a feature that's not offered by your current service provider. An example for using a subdomain is if you have a business site along with an online store under a subdomain where customers can buy 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 your websites separated is also less risky in case there is a script security breach.

Subdomains in Hosting

Our hosting plans will allow you to set up numerous subdomains for every domain address hosted inside your account without any difficulty. As long as the main domain name is added, it will take two mouse clicks to set up a subdomain and pick what folder it will open (if different from the default one), set unique error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions, set a shared IP address or a dedicated one, and more. All subdomains will be conveniently listed in alphabetical order under their main domain for convenient access and administration. By right-clicking on any one of them and by using quick access buttons you can view the error logs, visitor statistics or site files for that particular subdomain. We have not set a limit for the total amount of subdomains which you can create with any of our plans, so you can have as many as you want.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers

When you acquire a semi-dedicated server plan, you're going to be able to create as many subdomains as you want simply because this feature is unrestricted. Considering that the web hosting plans are quite powerful, we've decided not to set any limit on the amount of subdomains. Our sophisticated Hepsia CP will enable you to create a new subdomain with no more than a couple of mouse clicks, to select which folder it is going to access within the account, to enable FrontPage Extensions for it, to create unique error pages, to set a shared or a dedicated IP address if you have one, and many more. For your convenience, all subdomains will be listed under their root domain, allowing you to easily see and manage them. With fast access links, you'll also have the ability to open the site files for any one of the subdomains that you have or view its DNS records.
