A subdomain is a part of a web address that's under the main domain, such as 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 single subdomain could have its own web site and records and can even be hosted using a different provider if you need to use a specific feature that isn't provided by your current provider. An example for using a subdomain is if you have a company site as well as an online store under a subdomain where clients can acquire your products. You can also have a forum where they can comment on the products and by employing subdomains instead of subfolders you'll avoid any probability of all websites going down if you perform maintenance, or update one of the site scripts. Keeping the websites separated is also more secure in the case of a script security breach.

Subdomains in Shared Hosting

Our shared hosting plans will allow you to create numerous subdomains for every domain hosted inside your account without any problem. As long as the main domain is added, it requires two clicks to create a subdomain and choose what folder it will open (if different from the default one), create unique error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions, set a shared IP address or a dedicated one, and much more. All subdomains will be conveniently listed in alphabetical order under their main domain for effortless access and control. By right-clicking on any of them and by using fast access buttons you can see the error logs, visitor statistics or site files for that particular subdomain. We have not set a limit for the amount of subdomains which 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 purchase a semi-dedicated server plan, you are going to be able to create as many subdomains as you'd like because this feature is unrestricted. Considering that the website hosting plans are quite powerful, we have decided not to put any limit on the amount of subdomains. Our state-of-the-art Hepsia Control Panel will permit you to create a new subdomain with no more than a few clicks, to select which folder it'll access inside the account, to enable FrontPage Extensions for it, to set up unique error pages, to create a shared or a dedicated IP address if you have one, and a lot more. For your convenience, all subdomains are going to be listed under their root domain, so that you can very easily see and manage them. Through quick access links, you'll have the ability to open the website files for any one of the subdomains that you have or check out its DNS records.
