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" part is a subdomain given that the fully qualified domain name is only "example.com". Each subdomain could have its own website and records and can even be hosted with a different provider if you wish to use a specific feature that is not offered by your current service provider. An illustration for using a subdomain is if you have a business website as well as an online store under a subdomain where clients can acquire your products. In addition, you can 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 websites going down when you perform maintenance, or update one of the website scripts. Keeping your websites separated is also more secure in the event of a script security breach.

Subdomains in Cloud Hosting

Our cloud hosting plans will permit you to set up hundreds of subdomains for any domain address hosted inside your account without any hassle. As long as the main domain name is added, it takes two clicks to create a subdomain and pick what folder it will open (if different from the default one), create custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions, set a shared IP address or a dedicated one, and a lot more. All subdomains will be conveniently listed in alphabetical order under their main domain for easy access and administration. By right-clicking on any of them and by using instant access buttons you can see the error logs, visitor statistics or website files for that particular subdomain. We haven't set a restriction for the total number of subdomains you can create with any of our plans, so you can have as many as you wish.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers

You can create as many subdomains as you would like with any of our semi-dedicated servers as we haven't set an upper limit for this feature. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel will enable you to add a new subdomain with only a few clicks and you'll be able to access a number of advanced features during the process - change the default access folder, pick 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 a lot more. Even if you set up a huge amount of subdomains, you will be able to keep track of them with ease because they are going to be listed in alphabetical order under their main domain. For every single one of them, you can even access the web site files or check out logs and usage stats using instant access buttons.
