A subdomain is part of a web address which is under the main domain name, for example name.example.com. From a technical perspective, even in www.example.com the "www" element is a subdomain given that the fully qualified domain name is just "example.com". Every single subdomain could have its own web site and records and can also be hosted using a different provider if you want to use a certain feature which isn't provided by your current provider. An example for using a subdomain is if you have a company website as well as an online store under a subdomain where clients can acquire your products. You can even have a forum in which they can discuss the products and by using subdomains as opposed to subfolders you will avoid any probability of all sites going down if you perform maintenance, or update one of the website scripts. Keeping your sites separated is less risky in case there is a script security breach.

Subdomains in Shared Website Hosting

If you obtain a shared website hosting plan from our company, you will be able to create subdomains with ease using your Hepsia website hosting Control Panel. We have decided not to limit their amount, so even when you host only 1 domain name in the account, you will be able to create as many subdomains as you want and have a different website for each one. During the creation of a subdomain, you'll be able to choose the folder in the account that it'll open, create custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions and error logs, select a server shared IP address or a dedicated one if you have such, and a lot more. All hosted domain names and the subdomains you create for them will be conveniently listed in alphabetical order in one place and you'll be able to access many functions for each one of them with right-click context menus - records, files, etc.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You will be able to create as many subdomains as you want with any one of our semi-dedicated hosting packages as we haven't set a maximum limit for this feature. The Hepsia web hosting Control Panel allows you to add a new subdomain with only a few mouse clicks and you can access a number 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 that are available in your account, activate FrontPage Extensions, add an SSL certificate, and a lot more. Even if you create a huge amount of subdomains, you'll be able to keep track of them with ease as they are going to be listed in alphabetical order under their main domain. For any of them, you can even access the web site files or view logs and usage stats via instant access buttons.
