A subdomain is part of a web address that's under the main domain name, for example name.example.com. From a technical perspective, even in www.example.com the "www" part is a subdomain given that the fully qualified domain name is just "example.com". Every subdomain can have its own web site and records and can also be hosted using a different company if you want to use a certain feature that's not offered by your current service provider. An example for using a subdomain is if you have a business site and an online store under a subdomain where customers can acquire your products. In addition, you can have a forum where they can talk about the products and by employing subdomains as opposed to subfolders you will avoid any risk of all websites going down if you perform maintenance, or update one of the website scripts. Keeping your websites separated is also more secure in the case of a script security breach.

Subdomains in Cloud Website Hosting

Our cloud website hosting packages will permit you to set up many subdomains for every domain name hosted within your account without any problem. Provided that the main domain address is added, it will take two clicks to set up a subdomain and pick what folder it'll open (if different from the default one), set customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions, set a shared IP address or a dedicated one, and more. All subdomains will be conveniently listed in alphabetical order under their main domain for easy access and administration. By right-clicking on any of them and by using fast access buttons you can view the error logs, visitor statistics or website files for that specific subdomain. We haven't set a limit for the total 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

Our Linux semi-dedicated servers haven't got a set limit for the number of subdomains which you can create. Adding a new subdomain in the account takes just a few mouse clicks within the Hepsia website hosting CP and in the process you can pick the folder the subdomain will access if it will be different from the default one, set up custom error pages, enable FrontPage Extensions if you need them or create a dedicated IP address rather than the shared server one provided you have added such an upgrade to your semi-dedicated account. When the subdomain is set up, you can access logs and visitor stats or you can quickly jump to the site files for it inside the File Manager area by using fast access buttons. All subdomains that you've got within the account are going to be conveniently listed under their root domain, so you are going to be able to find and control every single one of them effortlessly.
