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". Every single subdomain can have its own website and records and can even be hosted using a different company if you need to use a specific feature that isn't provided by your current service provider. A good example for using a subdomain is if you have a company site and an online store under a subdomain where clients can acquire your products. You can also have a forum where they can discuss the products and by using subdomains instead of subfolders you are going to avoid any risk of all sites going down if you perform maintenance, or update one of the website scripts. Keeping the websites separated is more secure in case there is a script security breach.
Subdomains in Cloud Hosting
With our cloud hosting plans you will be able to create subdomains with just a couple of mouse clicks in your hosting CP. 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 in order to make their managing simpler. Regardless of the plan that you choose, you will be able to create numerous subdomains and set their access folder or set up custom error pages along the way. You will also have access to numerous functions for any of them with just a click, so from the same section where you create them you can access their DNS records, files, visitor statistics, etc. Unlike other companies, we have not limited the amount of subdomains that you can have even if you host only one domain name inside the account.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers
You can create as many subdomains as you would like with any one of our semi-dedicated servers because we have not set an upper limit for this feature. The Hepsia website hosting Control Panel will enable you to add a new subdomain with only a few mouse clicks and you are going to be able to access a variety of advanced features during the process - replace the default access folder, select the IP address the subdomain will use from the shared and dedicated ones which are offered in your account, activate FrontPage Extensions, add an SSL certificate, plus much more. Even if you set up a large number of subdomains, you'll be able to keep track of all of them with ease because they will be listed in alphabetical order below their main domain. For any one of them, you can also access the web site files or view logs and usage statistics using quick access buttons.
