A subdomain is part of a web address that's under the main domain name, for example name.example.com. Actually, even in www.example.com the "www" part is a subdomain because the fully qualified domain name is just "example.com". Every subdomain could have its own website and records and can also be hosted through a different provider if you wish to use a feature that isn't 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 in which they can comment on the products and by employing subdomains as an alternative to subfolders you will avoid any chance of all sites going down when 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 Shared Hosting

If you obtain a shared hosting plan through our company, you'll be able to create subdomains easily through your Hepsia hosting CP. We've decided not to limit their number, so in case you host only one domain name in the account, you are going to be able to create as many subdomains as you want and have a different website for every one of them. During the creation of a subdomain, you'll be able to pick the folder in the account that it'll open, create custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions and error logs, select a server shared IP address or a dedicated one if you have such, and a lot more. All hosted domains and the subdomains you create for them will be conveniently listed in alphabetical order in one location and you'll be able to access a lot of functions for each one of them with right-click context menus - records, files, etc.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Our Linux semi-dedicated packages don't have a set limit for the amount of subdomains which you can create. Adding a new subdomain within the account takes just a few mouse clicks within the Hepsia hosting CP and in the process you can choose the folder the subdomain is going to access if it will be different from the default one, create custom error pages, enable FrontPage Extensions if you need them or set a dedicated IP address instead of the shared server one provided you have added such an upgrade to your semi-dedicated account. Once the subdomain is created, you'll be able to access logs and visitor statistics or you can swiftly jump to the website files for it within the File Manager area through fast access buttons. All subdomains you have within the account are going to be conveniently listed under their root domain, so you will be able to find and handle every single one of them with ease.
