A subdomain is part of a web address that is under the main domain name, 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". Each subdomain could have its own web site and records and can also be hosted through a different provider if you wish to use some feature which is not 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 acquire your products. Additionally, you can have a forum where they can talk about the products and by employing subdomains instead of subfolders you will avoid any chance of all sites going down when you perform maintenance, or update one of the site scripts. Keeping the sites separated is also less risky in the event of a script security breach.
Subdomains in Cloud Website Hosting
When you buy a cloud website hosting plan through us, you are going to be able to create subdomains effortlessly through your Hepsia website hosting Control Panel. We have decided not to limit their number, so in case you host only 1 domain in the account, you'll be able to create as many subdomains as you wish and have a different site for each and every one of them. During the creation of a subdomain, you can select the folder in the account that it will open, set up personalized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions and error logs, choose a server shared IP address or a dedicated one if you have such, and much more. All hosted domain names and the subdomains that you create for them are going to be conveniently listed in alphabetical order in one spot and you are going to be able to access a lot of functions for every one of them with right-click context menus - records, files, etc.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting
When you purchase a semi-dedicated server package, you'll be able to create as many subdomains as you'd like because this feature is unlimited. Since the website hosting plans are very powerful, we've decided not to set any restriction on the number of subdomains. Our innovative Hepsia Control Panel will enable you to create a new subdomain with no more than a few clicks, to pick which folder it'll access within the account, to activate FrontPage Extensions for it, to create custom error pages, to create a shared or a dedicated IP address if you have one, and more. For your convenience, all the subdomains will be listed under their root domain, allowing you to effortlessly see and control them. Using fast access links, you'll also be able to open the site files for any one of the subdomains that you have or see its DNS records.
