A subdomain is part of a web address that's under the main domain, for example name.example.com. Actually, even in www.example.com the "www" element is a subdomain given that the fully qualified domain name is only "example.com". Each subdomain can have its own web site and records and can even be hosted through a different company if you want to use a certain feature that's not offered by your current service provider. An example for using a subdomain is if you have a business site and an online store under a subdomain where customers can purchase your products. You can also have a forum where they can talk about the products and by employing subdomains instead of subfolders you are going to avoid any chance of all websites going down if you perform maintenance, or update one of the website scripts. Keeping the sites separated is also less risky in the case of a script security breach.

Subdomains in Website Hosting

Our website hosting plans will enable you to create numerous subdomains for every domain hosted inside your account without any problem. If the main domain name is added, it takes 2 mouse clicks to create a subdomain and select 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 more. All subdomains are going to 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 quick access buttons you can see the error logs, visitor statistics or site files for that specific subdomain. We have not set a restriction for the total number 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 Servers

If you buy a semi-dedicated server plan, you are going to be able to create as many subdomains as you want since this feature is unlimited. Considering that the web hosting plans are very powerful, we have decided not to set any limit on the number of subdomains. Our innovative Hepsia Control Panel will permit you to create a new subdomain with no more than a few clicks, to pick which folder it's going to access in the account, to enable FrontPage Extensions for it, to set up custom error pages, to set a shared or a dedicated IP address if you have one, and much more. To make it easier for you, all subdomains will be listed under their root domain, so that you can very easily see and manage them. Through fast access links, you will also have the ability to open the website files for any one of the subdomains that you have or view its DNS records.
