A subdomain is part of a web address that is under the main domain, for instance name.example.com. Actually, even in www.example.com the "www" element is a subdomain because the fully qualified domain name is just "example.com". Each subdomain could have its own site and records and can also be hosted with a different provider if you want to use a feature that isn't offered by your current provider. An example for using a subdomain is if you have a business website along with an online store under a subdomain where customers can buy your products. In addition, you can have a forum in which they can discuss the products and by using subdomains as opposed to subfolders you are going to avoid any chance of all websites going down when you perform maintenance, or update one of the website scripts. Keeping your websites separated is also more secure in the case of a script security breach.

Subdomains in Shared Website Hosting

Our shared website hosting plans will permit you to create many subdomains for every domain address hosted in your account without any hassle. Assuming that the main domain name is added, it will take 2 clicks to set up a subdomain and choose what folder it'll open (if different from the default one), create custom 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 control. By right-clicking on any of them and by using instant access buttons you can view the error logs, visitor statistics or website files for that specific subdomain. We haven't set a restriction for the total number of subdomains which you can create with any one of our plans, so you can have as many as you wish.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting

When you buy a semi-dedicated server plan, you're going to be able to create as many subdomains as you wish simply because this feature is unlimited. Since the web hosting plans are quite powerful, we've decided not to set any limit on the amount of subdomains. Our innovative Hepsia Control Panel will permit you to create a new subdomain with no more than a few clicks, to choose which folder it is going to access inside 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 a lot more. To make it easier for you, all the subdomains will be listed under their root domain, so you can effortlessly see and handle them. With fast access links, you'll have the ability to open the site files for each of the subdomains that you have or see its DNS records.
