A subdomain is part of a web address which is under the main domain name, for example name.example.com. Actually, even in www.example.com the "www" part is a subdomain since the fully qualified domain name is just "example.com". Each subdomain can have its own web site and records and can also be hosted using a different company if you need to use a feature that isn't provided by your current service provider. An example for using a subdomain is if you have a business site as well as an online store under a subdomain where clients can acquire your products. In addition, you can have a forum in which they can comment on the products and by employing subdomains rather than subfolders you'll avoid any chance of all websites going down if you perform maintenance, or update one of the site scripts. Keeping the websites separated is also less risky in the event of a script security breach.
Subdomains in Shared Hosting
Every shared hosting package we provide will permit you to create hundreds of subdomains with no more than a few mouse clicks inside your website hosting Control Panel. They'll all be listed in the section where you create them and grouped under the main domain for more convenience, so you can very easily keep tabs on all of them. In addition, you can access many functions for any one of the subdomains via right-click context menus - for example, you can view or change their DNS records, access the site files, and a lot more. While creating a new subdomain, you will also have a number of options that you can pick from - determine the default access folder, create customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or choose if the subdomain will use a shared or a dedicated IP address. The number of subdomains you'll have is entirely up to you as we have not restricted this feature for any of our plans.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting
You can create as many subdomains as you would like with any of our Linux semi-dedicated hosting packages since we haven't set a maximum limit for this feature. The Hepsia website hosting CP will enable you to add a new subdomain with just a few mouse clicks and you are going to be able to access a number of advanced features during the process - modify 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 great number of subdomains, you'll be able to keep track of them with ease since they are going to be listed in alphabetical order below their main domain. For any of them, you can also access the website files or view logs and usage statistics through fast access buttons.
