A subdomain is a part of a web address which is under the main domain name, such as name.example.com. Actually, even in www.example.com the "www" element is a subdomain given that the fully qualified domain name is just "example.com". Every subdomain can have its own site and records and can also be hosted through a different company if you need to use a feature which is not provided by your current service provider. A good example for using a subdomain is if you have a company website and an online store under a subdomain where customers can buy your products. Additionally, you can have a forum in which they can discuss the products and by employing subdomains rather than subfolders you are going to avoid any chance of all websites going down when you perform maintenance, or update one of the website scripts. Keeping the sites separated is more secure in the event of a script security breach.
Subdomains in Cloud Hosting
When you use cloud hosting packages you will be able to create subdomains with just a few clicks in your web hosting CP. All of them are going to be listed in a single spot together with the domain addresses hosted in the account and arranged under their own domain so as to make their managing much easier. No matter the plan that you choose, you will be able to create numerous subdomains and set their access folder or create custom error pages along the way. You'll have access to many functions for any of them with only a mouse click, so from the same section where you create them you can access their DNS records, files, visitor statistics, etc. In contrast to other companies, we have not restricted the amount of subdomains you can have even if you host only one domain in the account.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers
Our semi-dedicated plans haven't got a limit for the number of subdomains you can create. Adding a new subdomain within the account takes just a few clicks inside the Hepsia website hosting CP and during the process you can select the folder the subdomain is going to access if it is going to be different from the default one, set up custom-made error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions if you need them or set a dedicated IP address rather than the shared server one if you have added such an upgrade to your semi-dedicated account. When the subdomain is created, you'll be able to access logs and visitor statistics or you can quickly jump to the site files for it inside the File Manager section through fast access buttons. All subdomains that you've got within the account will be conveniently listed under their root domain, so you are going to be able to find and control any one of them easily.
