A subdomain is a part of a web address that's under the main domain name, such as name.example.com. Technically, even in www.example.com the "www" part is a subdomain because the fully qualified domain name is just "example.com". Each subdomain could have its own web site and records and can even be hosted with a different company if you wish to use a specific feature that's not offered by your current provider. An illustration for using a subdomain is if you have a company site as well as an online store under a subdomain where clients can acquire your products. You can also have a forum in which they can talk about the products and by employing subdomains instead of subfolders you'll avoid any risk 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 of a script security breach.

Subdomains in Shared Hosting

With our shared hosting packages you're going to be able to create subdomains with a few clicks in your website hosting CP. All of them will be listed in a single place along with the domains hosted in the account and arranged under their own domain in order to make their managing easier. No matter the plan that you pick, you're going to be able to create hundreds of subdomains and set their access folder or set up custom error pages during the process. Additionally, you'll have access to lots of functions for any of them with just a mouse click, so from the same section in which you create them you can access their DNS records, files, visitor statistics, etc. Unlike other companies, we haven't restricted the number of subdomains which you can have even if you host only one domain name in the account.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers

You can create as many subdomains as you would like with any one of our semi-dedicated plans since we haven't set a maximum limit for this feature. The Hepsia website hosting CP will allow you to add a new subdomain with just a few clicks and you are going to be able to access a number of advanced features during the process - replace the default access folder, choose the IP address the subdomain will use from the shared and dedicated ones that are available in your account, activate FrontPage Extensions, add an SSL certificate, plus much more. Even if you set up a huge amount of subdomains, you'll be able to keep track of all of them with ease as they will be listed in alphabetical order below their main domain. For every single one of them, you are able to access the site files or check out logs and usage statistics using fast access buttons.
