A subdomain is part of a web address that is under the main domain name, for example name.example.com. Technically, even in www.example.com the "www" part is a subdomain given that the fully qualified domain name is only "example.com". Each subdomain could have its own web site and records and can also be hosted using a different company if you wish to use a feature which isn't offered 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 in which they can discuss the products and by employing subdomains as opposed to subfolders you are going to avoid any risk of all websites going down if you perform maintenance, or update one of the website scripts. Keeping the sites separated is also more secure in the event of a script security breach.

Subdomains in Shared Web Hosting

When you use shared web hosting plans you will be able to create subdomains with only a few mouse clicks in your website hosting CP. All of them will be listed in a single location together with the domain names hosted in the account and arranged under their own domain so as to make their managing easier. Whatever the plan that you choose, you are going to be able to create hundreds of subdomains and set their access folder or create custom error pages during the process. You'll have access to a lot of functions for any of them with just a click, so from the very same section where you create them you can access their DNS records, files, visitor statistics, etc. Unlike other companies, we have not restricted the amount of subdomains that you can have even if you host just one domain address inside the account.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers

You’ll be able to create as many subdomains as you would like with any of our semi-dedicated hosting plans because we have not set a maximum limit for this feature. The Hepsia web hosting CP allows you to add a new subdomain with just a few mouse clicks and you'll be able to access a variety of advanced features during the process - replace the default access folder, choose the IP address the subdomain will use from the shared and dedicated ones which are available in your account, activate FrontPage Extensions, add an SSL certificate, and a lot more. Even if you set up a large number of subdomains, you are going to be able to keep track of all of them with ease since they will be listed in alphabetical order below their main domain. For any of them, you are able to access the website files or check out logs and usage statistics through fast access buttons.
