A subdomain is part of a web address that is under the main domain, such as name.example.com. From a technical perspective, even in www.example.com the "www" part is a subdomain because the fully qualified domain name is just "example.com". Every subdomain could have its own web site and records and can also be hosted using a different provider if you want to use a feature which is not provided by your current provider. A good example for using a subdomain is if you have a business website and an online store under a subdomain where clients can acquire your products. You can even have a forum in which they can discuss the products and by using subdomains instead of subfolders you will avoid any probability of all sites going down when you perform maintenance, or update one of the website scripts. Keeping your sites separated is also less risky in case there is a script security breach.

Subdomains in Shared Web Hosting

Through our shared web hosting plans you are going to be able to create subdomains with only a few clicks in your hosting Control Panel. All of them are going to be listed in one spot along with the domain addresses hosted in the account and grouped under their own domain so as to make their administration easier. Regardless of the plan that you select, you are going to be able to create hundreds of subdomains and set their access folder or set up custom error pages along the way. You'll have access to numerous functions for any of them with just a click, so from the exact same section where you create them you can access their DNS records, files, visitor statistics, etc. In contrast to other providers, we have not restricted the number of subdomains you can have even if you host only one domain address in the account.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers

When you acquire a semi-dedicated server package, you'll be able to create as many subdomains as you want simply because this feature is unlimited. For the reason that the hosting plans are very powerful, we've decided not to set any restriction on the amount of subdomains. Our sophisticated Hepsia CP will permit you to create a new subdomain with no more than a few mouse clicks, to select which folder it is going to access inside the account, to activate FrontPage Extensions for it, to set up unique error pages, to create a shared or a dedicated IP address if you have one, and more. For your convenience, all subdomains are going to be listed under their root domain, allowing you to very easily see and manage them. With quick access links, you will also have the ability to open the site files for each of the subdomains that you have or see its DNS records.
