A subdomain is part of a web address which is under the main domain, 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 single subdomain could have its own web site and records and can even be hosted through a different provider if you need to use a certain feature which is not provided by your current service provider. An illustration for using a subdomain is if you have a business site and an online store under a subdomain where customers can buy your products. You can even have a forum where they can discuss the products and by employing subdomains rather than subfolders you will avoid any chance of all websites going down if you perform maintenance, or update one of the website scripts. Keeping the websites separated is less risky in the event of a script security breach.
Subdomains in Shared Web Hosting
If you get a shared web hosting plan through our company, you will be able to create subdomains easily via your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. We have decided not to limit their amount, so in case you host only one domain name in the account, you'll be able to create as many subdomains as you would like and have a different site for each and every one. During the creation of a subdomain, you can choose the folder in the account that it'll 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, 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 lots of functions for each one of them through right-click context menus - records, files, etc.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers
When you acquire a semi-dedicated server plan, you are going to be able to create as many subdomains as you wish simply because this feature is unrestricted. For the reason that the hosting plans are rather powerful, we have decided not to set any limit on the amount of subdomains. Our innovative Hepsia CP will enable you to create a new subdomain with no more than a couple of clicks, to pick which folder it's going to access in the account, to activate FrontPage Extensions for it, to create unique error pages, to set a shared or a dedicated IP address if you have one, and a lot more. To make it easier for you, all subdomains are going to be listed under their root domain, so you can easily see and control them. Through fast access links, you'll also be able to open the site files for each of the subdomains that you have or check out its DNS records.
