A subdomain is part of a web address that's under the main domain, for instance name.example.com. Technically, even in www.example.com the "www" part is a subdomain because the fully qualified domain name is only "example.com". Every single subdomain can have its own site and records and can also be hosted through a different company if you want to use a feature that isn't provided by your current provider. A good example for using a subdomain is if you have a business website as well as an online store under a subdomain where customers can purchase your products. You can also have a forum in which they can discuss the products and by employing subdomains as opposed to subfolders you are going to avoid any risk of all websites going down if you perform maintenance, or update one of the website scripts. Keeping the sites separated is also more secure in the event of a script security breach.
Subdomains in Web Hosting
When you purchase a web hosting package from us, you are going to be able to create subdomains with ease through your Hepsia hosting CP. We have decided not to restrict their amount, so in case you host only one domain name in the account, you're going to be able to create as many subdomains as you would like and have a different website for each and every one. During the creation of a subdomain, you'll be able to select the folder inside the account that it'll open, set up customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions and error logs, pick a server shared IP address or a dedicated one if you have such, and more. All hosted domain names and the subdomains that you create for them are going to be conveniently listed in alphabetical order in one place and you are going to be able to gain access to numerous 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 would like with any of our semi-dedicated servers as we haven't set an upper limit for this feature. The Hepsia website hosting CP will permit you to add a new subdomain with a few mouse clicks and you can access a variety of advanced features during the process - modify the default access folder, choose 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 will be able to keep track of them with ease because they are going to be listed in alphabetical order under their main domain. For any one of them, you can also access the website files or see logs and usage statistics via quick access buttons.
