A subdomain is part of a web address that is under the main domain, such as 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 only "example.com". Every subdomain could have its own web site and records and can also be hosted with a different provider if you need to use a certain feature which is not provided by your current provider. An illustration for using a subdomain is if you have a business website and an online store under a subdomain where customers can purchase your products. You can even have a forum where they can comment on the products and by employing subdomains rather than subfolders you are going to avoid any risk of all websites going down when you perform maintenance, or update one of the website scripts. Keeping your sites separated is less risky in the event of a script security breach.

Subdomains in Hosting

If you get a hosting plan through our company, you'll be able to create subdomains with ease using your Hepsia hosting CP. We have decided not to limit their amount, so in case you host just one domain address in the account, you are going to be able to create as many subdomains as you wish and have a different site for every single one. During the creation of a subdomain, you can choose the folder in the account that it's going to open, set up custom 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 a lot of functions for every one of them through right-click context menus - records, files, etc.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you purchase a semi-dedicated server plan, you'll be able to create as many subdomains as you wish because this feature is unrestricted. For the reason that the website hosting plans are very powerful, we have decided not to put any cap on the number of subdomains. Our innovative Hepsia Control Panel will enable you to create a new subdomain with no more than a couple of clicks, to choose which folder it will access inside the account, to activate FrontPage Extensions for it, to set up unique error pages, to set a shared or a dedicated IP address if you have one, and more. For your convenience, all the subdomains are going to be listed under their root domain, so that you can effortlessly see and manage them. Through quick access links, you will also be able to open the site files for each of the subdomains that you have or see its DNS records.
