A subdomain is part of a web address which is under the main domain, for instance name.example.com. From a technical perspective, even in www.example.com the "www" element is a subdomain since the fully qualified domain name is just "example.com". Every single subdomain can have its own website and records and can even be hosted with a different company if you want to use a certain feature which isn't offered by your current provider. One example for using a subdomain is if you have a company site and an online store under a subdomain where customers can acquire your products. Additionally, you can have a forum in which they can talk about 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 site scripts. Keeping your sites separated is less risky in the case of a script security breach.

Subdomains in Shared Web Hosting

Through our shared web hosting packages you'll be able to create subdomains with just a few clicks in your web hosting CP. All of them will be listed in a single spot along with the domain names hosted in the account and grouped under their own domain in order to make their administration easier. Whatever the plan that you choose, you are going to be able to create many subdomains and set their access folder or create custom error pages in the process. You'll have access to numerous functions for any of them with only a mouse click, so from the very same section in which you create them you can access their DNS records, files, visitor statistics, etc. As opposed to other companies, we have not restricted the number of subdomains which you can have even if you host one domain address inside the account.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers

When you get a semi-dedicated server plan, you will be able to create as many subdomains as you wish simply because this feature is unlimited. Considering that the website hosting packages are rather powerful, we have decided not to set any restriction on the amount of subdomains. Our state-of-the-art Hepsia Control Panel will allow you to create a new subdomain with no more than a couple of clicks, to pick which folder it's going to access within the account, to activate FrontPage Extensions for it, to set up unique error pages, to set 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 control them. Through quick access links, you'll be able to open the site files for each of the subdomains that you have or see its DNS records.
