A subdomain is a part of a web address that is under the main domain, such as name.example.com. Actually, even in www.example.com the "www" element is a subdomain since the fully qualified domain name is just "example.com". Each subdomain could have its own website and records and can even be hosted using a different provider if you want to use some feature that isn't offered by your current service provider. An illustration for using a subdomain is if you have a business website along with an online store under a subdomain where customers can buy your products. Additionally, you can have a forum where they can discuss the products and by employing subdomains rather than 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 your websites separated is also less risky in the event of a script security breach.

Subdomains in Shared Hosting

Our shared hosting plans will permit you to set up many subdomains for any domain hosted in your account without any hassle. As long as the main domain address is added, it requires two mouse clicks to create a subdomain and choose what folder it's going to open (if different from the default one), set unique error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions, set a shared IP address or a dedicated one, and a lot more. All subdomains will be conveniently listed in alphabetical order under their main domain for quick access and management. By right-clicking on any one of them and by using fast access buttons you can view the error logs, visitor statistics or site files for that specific subdomain. We have not set a limit for the amount of subdomains which you can create with any of our plans, so you can have as many as you need.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our semi-dedicated servers don't have a set limit for the amount of subdomains you can create. Adding a new subdomain inside the account takes only a couple of clicks within the Hepsia website hosting CP and throughout the process you can choose the folder the subdomain will access if it will be different from the default one, create tailor-made error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions if you need them or set a dedicated IP address as opposed to the shared server one provided you have added such an upgrade to your semi-dedicated account. After the subdomain is created, you'll be able to access logs and visitor statistics or you can easily jump to the website files for it within the File Manager section via fast access buttons. All subdomains you have inside the account are going to be conveniently listed under their root domain, so you will be able to find and control every single one of them effortlessly.
