A subdomain is part of a web address that is under the main domain name, for example name.example.com. Actually, even in www.example.com the "www" element is a subdomain given that the fully qualified domain name is just "example.com". Each subdomain can have its own website and records and can also be hosted using a different company if you need to use a feature that isn't 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 buy your products. In addition, you can have a forum in which they can discuss the products and by using subdomains rather than subfolders you are going to avoid any risk of all sites going down when you perform maintenance, or update one of the website scripts. Keeping your websites separated is more secure in the case of a script security breach.

Subdomains in Cloud Hosting

Every cloud hosting package that we provide will enable you to create many subdomains with no more than a couple of clicks inside your website hosting Control Panel. They are going to be listed in the section in which you create them and arranged under the main domain for more convenience, so that you can very easily keep an eye on every one of them. In addition, you can access a lot of functions for any of the subdomains using right-click context menus - for instance, you can view or change their DNS records, access the website files, and much more. While creating a new subdomain, you will also have many options that you can select from - specify the default access folder, create customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or select if the subdomain is going to use a shared or a dedicated IP address. The amount of subdomains you are going to have is completely up to you as we haven't restricted this feature for any of our packages.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting

When you get a semi-dedicated server plan, you'll be able to create as many subdomains as you want since this feature is unrestricted. Considering that the web hosting plans are quite powerful, we have decided not to set any cap on the number of subdomains. Our state-of-the-art Hepsia CP will enable you to create a new subdomain with no more than a couple of mouse clicks, to pick which folder it'll access within the account, to enable FrontPage Extensions for it, to set up custom error pages, to create a shared or a dedicated IP address if you have one, and many more. To make it easier for you, all the subdomains are going to be listed under their root domain, allowing you to effortlessly see and control them. Through quick access links, you'll be able to open the website files for each of the subdomains that you have or check out its DNS records.
