A subdomain is a part of a web address which is under the main domain, for instance name.example.com. Technically, 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 even be hosted using a different provider if you wish to use a feature that's not provided by your current provider. An example for using a subdomain is if you have a business website as well as an online store under a subdomain where customers can acquire your products. Additionally, you can have a forum where they can discuss the products and by using subdomains rather than 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 the websites separated is more secure in case of a script security breach.
Subdomains in Hosting
Every hosting plan which we supply will permit you to create hundreds of subdomains with no more than a couple of mouse clicks inside your web hosting CP. They'll all be listed in the section in which you create them and arranged under the main domain for more convenience, so you can effortlessly monitor every one of them. Additionally, you can access a lot of functions for any one of the subdomains through right-click context menus - for instance, you can view or edit their DNS records, access the website files, and a lot more. While setting up a new subdomain, you'll also have lots of options that you can pick from - determine the default access folder, set customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or pick if the subdomain will use a shared or a dedicated IP address. The amount of subdomains you'll have is 100 % up to you since we have not limited this feature for any one of our packages.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers
You will be able to create as many subdomains as you wish with any one of our semi-dedicated servers since we have not set an upper limit for this feature. The Hepsia website hosting CP will enable you to add a new subdomain with a few mouse clicks and you can access a number of advanced features during the process - change the default access folder, choose the IP address the subdomain will use from the shared and dedicated ones that are provided in your account, activate FrontPage Extensions, add an SSL certificate, and more. Even if you set up a large number of subdomains, you're going to be able to keep track of all of them with ease because they are going to be listed in alphabetical order under their main domain. For each of them, you can also access the website files or check out logs and usage statistics using instant access buttons.
