A subdomain is a part of a web address which is under the main domain name, for example name.example.com. Technically, even in www.example.com the "www" part is a subdomain because the fully qualified domain name is only "example.com". Every subdomain can have its own website and records and can even be hosted with a different company if you want to use some feature that's not offered by your current provider. A good example for using a subdomain is if you have a company site as well as an online store under a subdomain where clients can buy your products. In addition, you can have a forum where they can comment on the products and by using subdomains as an alternative to subfolders you will avoid any chance of all sites going down if you perform maintenance, or update one of the website scripts. Keeping your sites separated is more secure in the case of a script security breach.
Subdomains in Web Hosting
When you obtain a web hosting package through us, you will be able to create subdomains effortlessly through your Hepsia hosting CP. We've decided not to restrict their amount, so even if you host just one domain in the account, you will be able to create as many subdomains as you wish and have a different site for each and every one. During the creation of a subdomain, you are able to choose the folder inside the account that it will open, set up customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions and error logs, choose a server shared IP address or a dedicated one if you have such, plus much more. All hosted domain addresses and the subdomains you create for them are going to be conveniently listed in alphabetical order in one spot and you will be able to gain access to numerous functions for every one of them through right-click context menus - records, files, etc.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting
You’ll be able to create as many subdomains as you wish with any one of our Linux semi-dedicated packages since we have not set an upper limit for this feature. The Hepsia hosting CP will allow you to add a new subdomain with just a few mouse clicks and you can access a number of advanced features during the process - modify 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 more. Even if you set up a huge amount of subdomains, you will be able to keep track of them with ease since they will be listed in alphabetical order below 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 fast access buttons.
