A subdomain is part of a web address that is under the main domain name, such as name.example.com. Actually, even in www.example.com the "www" part is a subdomain because the fully qualified domain name is just "example.com". Every single subdomain could have its own web site and records and can also be hosted using a different company if you wish to use a certain feature which isn't offered by your current provider. An illustration for using a subdomain is if you have a company site along with an online store under a subdomain where clients can acquire your products. In addition, you can have a forum in which they can talk about the products and by employing subdomains as an alternative to subfolders you are going to avoid any probability of all websites going down if you perform maintenance, or update one of the website scripts. Keeping the websites separated is also less risky in case there is a script security breach.

Subdomains in Web Hosting

Our web hosting packages will enable you to create many subdomains for any domain name hosted within your account without any difficulty. Assuming that the main domain is added, it takes two clicks to create a subdomain and choose what folder it's going to open (if different from the default one), create customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions, set a shared IP address or a dedicated one, and more. All subdomains are going to be conveniently listed in alphabetical order under their main domain for convenient access and management. By right-clicking on any of them and by using instant access buttons you can view the error logs, visitor statistics or website files for that particular subdomain. We haven't set a restriction for the amount of subdomains you can create with any one of our plans, so you can have as many as you wish.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you acquire a semi-dedicated server plan, you will be able to create as many subdomains as you would like simply because this feature is unlimited. For the reason that the hosting packages are very powerful, we have decided not to put any limit on the number of subdomains. Our sophisticated Hepsia Control Panel will allow you to create a new subdomain with no more than a few clicks, to pick which folder it is going to access within the account, to activate FrontPage Extensions for it, to set up custom error pages, to set a shared or a dedicated IP address if you have one, and more. For your convenience, all the subdomains are going to be listed under their root domain, so you can effortlessly see and handle them. Through quick access links, you'll also be able to open the website files for any one of the subdomains that you have or check out its DNS records.
