A subdomain is part of a web address that is under the main domain name, 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 just "example.com". Every single subdomain can have its own web site and records and can also be hosted through a different provider if you need to use a specific feature that isn't provided by your current provider. One example for using a subdomain is if you have a company site and an online store under a subdomain where customers can purchase your products. You can also have a forum where they can talk about the products and by employing subdomains instead of subfolders you are going to avoid any risk of all sites going down if you perform maintenance, or update one of the site scripts. Keeping the sites separated is also more secure in the event of a script security breach.
Subdomains in Cloud Hosting
Every cloud hosting plan we offer will allow you to create many subdomains with no more than a couple of mouse clicks inside your website hosting CP. They'll all be listed in the section where you create them and arranged under the main domain for more convenience, so you can very easily keep tabs on every one of them. In addition, you can access a lot of functions for any of the subdomains through right-click context menus - for instance, you can view or change their DNS records, access the website files, and a lot more. While setting up a new subdomain, you are also going to have lots of options that you can pick from - determine the default access folder, create unique error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or pick if the subdomain is going to use a shared or a dedicated IP address. How many subdomains you'll have is 100 % up to you because we have not restricted this feature for any of our plans.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting
You’ll be able to create as many subdomains as you wish with any of our Linux semi-dedicated hosting packages since we haven't set a maximum limit for this feature. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel allows you to add a new subdomain with only a few clicks and you are going to be able to 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 provided in your account, activate FrontPage Extensions, add an SSL certificate, plus much more. Even if you set up a huge amount of subdomains, you'll be able to keep track of them with ease since they will be listed in alphabetical order under their main domain. For every single one of them, you are able to access the website files or view logs and usage statistics through fast access buttons.
