A subdomain is part of a web address which 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 only "example.com". Every subdomain could have its own site and records and can even be hosted with a different provider if you wish to use a feature that is not provided by your current provider. A good example for using a subdomain is if you have a company website as well as an online store under a subdomain where clients can buy your products. In addition, you can have a forum where they can comment on the products and by employing subdomains instead of subfolders you will 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 Shared Website Hosting
When you acquire a shared website hosting plan from us, you'll be able to create subdomains with ease through your Hepsia hosting CP. We have decided not to restrict their number, so even if you host only one domain name in the account, you are going to be able to create as many subdomains as you would like and have a different website for each one of them. During the creation of a subdomain, you'll be able to pick the folder in the account that it's going to open, set up personalized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions and error logs, pick a server shared IP address or a dedicated one if you have such, and a lot more. All hosted domains and the subdomains you create for them are going to be conveniently listed in alphabetical order in one place and you are going to be able to access lots of functions for every one of them with right-click context menus - records, files, etc.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers
You’re able to create as many subdomains as you wish with any one of our Linux semi-dedicated servers because we haven't set an upper limit for this feature. The Hepsia website hosting Control Panel will enable you to add a new subdomain with 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, pick the IP address the subdomain will use from the shared and dedicated ones that are offered in your account, activate FrontPage Extensions, add an SSL certificate, and much more. Even if you create a great number of subdomains, you will be able to keep track of all of them with ease as they are going to be listed in alphabetical order below their main domain. For every single one of them, you can also access the website files or see logs and usage stats via instant access buttons.
