A subdomain is part of a web address that's under the main domain, for example name.example.com. From a technical perspective, even in www.example.com the "www" element is a subdomain because the fully qualified domain name is only "example.com". Every subdomain could have its own website and records and can even be hosted with a different provider if you need to use a certain feature that's not provided by your current service 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 customers can purchase 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 are going to avoid any risk 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 case there is a script security breach.
Subdomains in Website Hosting
When you get a website hosting package from our company, you are going to be able to create subdomains with ease via your Hepsia website hosting Control Panel. We've decided not to limit their amount, so even when you host only one domain address in the account, you're going to be able to create as many subdomains as you wish and have a different website for each and every one of them. During the creation of a subdomain, you are able to pick the folder in the account that it's going to open, create personalized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions and error logs, choose 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 place and you are going to be able to gain access to many functions for every single one of them through right-click context menus - records, files, etc.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers
When you get a semi-dedicated server package, you're going to be able to create as many subdomains as you wish since this feature is unrestricted. Considering that the website hosting packages are quite powerful, we've decided not to set any restriction on the amount of subdomains. Our sophisticated Hepsia CP will enable you to create a new subdomain with no more than a few clicks, to pick which folder it is going to access inside the account, to enable FrontPage Extensions for it, to create custom error pages, to set a shared or a dedicated IP address if you have one, and much more. For your convenience, all subdomains will be listed under their root domain, so you can very easily see and manage them. Through fast access links, you will also have the ability to open the site files for any one of the subdomains that you have or view its DNS records.
