A subdomain is a part of a web address that is under the main domain name, for instance name.example.com. Actually, even in www.example.com the "www" element is a subdomain given that the fully qualified domain name is just "example.com". Each subdomain could have its own site and records and can even be hosted using a different company if you need to use some feature that isn't provided by your current service provider. An illustration for using a subdomain is if you have a company site along with an online store under a subdomain where customers can buy your products. You can even have a forum where they can talk about the products and by employing subdomains rather than subfolders you will avoid any risk of all websites going down when you perform maintenance, or update one of the site scripts. Keeping the sites separated is more secure in case there is a script security breach.

Subdomains in Shared Web Hosting

Our shared web hosting plans will enable you to create many subdomains for any domain hosted inside your account without any hassle. If the main domain name is added, it will take two mouse clicks to create a subdomain and select what folder it will open (if different from the default one), set customized 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 control. By right-clicking on any one of them and by using fast access buttons you can see the error logs, visitor statistics or site files for that specific subdomain. We haven't set a restriction for the total amount of subdomains that you can create with any one of our plans, so you can have as many as you want.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting

When you get a semi-dedicated server plan, you will be able to create as many subdomains as you'd like because this feature is unlimited. For the reason that the hosting plans are very powerful, we have decided not to set any cap on the amount of subdomains. Our sophisticated Hepsia CP will allow you to create a new subdomain with no more than a couple of mouse clicks, to choose which folder it'll access inside the account, to activate FrontPage Extensions for it, to set up unique error pages, to create a shared or a dedicated IP address if you have one, and much more. To make it easier for you, all of the subdomains are going to be listed under their root domain, so that you can effortlessly see and manage them. With quick access links, you will also be able to open the website files for any of the subdomains that you have or check out its DNS records.
