A subdomain is part of a web address which is under the main domain name, for example name.example.com. Actually, even in www.example.com the "www" part is a subdomain since the fully qualified domain name is just "example.com". Every subdomain could have its own site and records and can also be hosted using a different provider if you wish to use some feature that's not provided by your current service provider. An example for using a subdomain is if you have a business site and an online store under a subdomain where clients can purchase your products. You can also have a forum where they can discuss the products and by using subdomains rather than subfolders you are going to avoid any probability of all sites going down if you perform maintenance, or update one of the website scripts. Keeping your sites separated is also less risky in the case of a script security breach.

Subdomains in Cloud Website Hosting

Every cloud website hosting plan that we provide will permit you to create many subdomains with no more than a few clicks within your web hosting Control Panel. They'll all be listed in the area where you create them and grouped under the main domain for more convenience, so that you can effortlessly keep an eye on them all. In addition, you can access many functions for any of the subdomains via right-click context menus - as an example, you can view or edit their DNS records, access the website files, and a lot more. While setting up a new subdomain, you will also have lots of options that you can choose from - determine the default access folder, create unique error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or decide if the subdomain is going to use a shared or a dedicated IP address. How many subdomains you will have is totally up to you as we have not limited this feature for any of our packages.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you buy a semi-dedicated server plan, you're going to be able to create as many subdomains as you would like because this feature is unrestricted. Considering that the website hosting packages are quite powerful, we've decided not to put any restriction on the amount of subdomains. Our advanced Hepsia CP will allow you to create a new subdomain with no more than a couple of clicks, to select which folder it's going to access inside the account, to activate FrontPage Extensions for it, to set up unique error pages, to set a shared or a dedicated IP address if you have one, and a lot more. To make it easier for you, all the subdomains will be listed under their root domain, so you can very easily see and handle them. Through instant access links, you'll be able to open the website files for each of the subdomains that you have or check out its DNS records.
