A subdomain is a part of a web address which is under the main domain, for example name.example.com. Actually, even in www.example.com the "www" part is a subdomain since the fully qualified domain name is just "example.com". Each subdomain can have its own site and records and can also be hosted with a different company if you wish to use a feature which is not offered by your current service provider. One example for using a subdomain is if you have a business site along with an online store under a subdomain where clients can buy your products. You can also have a forum where they can discuss 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 site scripts. Keeping the websites separated is also more secure in the event of a script security breach.
Subdomains in Shared Web Hosting
Using our shared web hosting plans you'll be able to create subdomains with just a few mouse clicks in your hosting Control Panel. All of them are going to be listed in a single place along with the domain addresses hosted in the account and grouped under their own domain so as to make their management simpler. Regardless of the plan that you choose, you are going to be able to create many subdomains and set their access folder or create custom error pages in the process. You will also have access to numerous functions for any of them with just a mouse click, so from the very same section in which you create them you can access their DNS records, files, visitor statistics, etc. Unlike other companies, we have not limited the number of subdomains that you can have even if you host only one domain name within the account.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting
If you get a semi-dedicated server plan, you're going to be able to create as many subdomains as you would like because this feature is unrestricted. Considering that the hosting packages are very powerful, we have decided not to set any restriction on the amount of subdomains. Our sophisticated Hepsia CP will enable you to create a new subdomain with no more than a few clicks, to choose which folder it'll access within the account, to enable FrontPage Extensions for it, to set up unique error pages, to set a shared or a dedicated IP address if you have one, and much more. To make it easier for you, all the subdomains will be listed under their root domain, so you can very easily see and control them. Using instant access links, you'll also have the ability to open the site files for any one of the subdomains that you have or check out its DNS records.
