A subdomain is part of a web address that's 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 because the fully qualified domain name is only "example.com". Each subdomain could have its own web site and records and can even be hosted using a different company if you want to use a feature which is not offered by your current provider. An example for using a subdomain is if you have a business website and an online store under a subdomain where clients can purchase your products. In addition, you can have a forum in which they can discuss the products and by employing subdomains rather than subfolders you'll avoid any probability of all sites going down when 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 Shared Hosting

Our shared hosting plans will enable you to set up countless subdomains for every domain name hosted inside your account without any problem. If the main domain name is added, it requires 2 clicks to create a subdomain and pick what folder it'll open (if different from the default one), create unique error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions, set a shared IP address or a dedicated one, and a lot more. All subdomains will be conveniently listed in alphabetical order under their main domain for effortless access and administration. By right-clicking on any one of them and by using quick access buttons you can view the error logs, visitor statistics or website files for that specific subdomain. We haven't set a restriction for the amount of subdomains that you can create with any one of our plans, so you can have as many as you wish.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our semi-dedicated plans don't have a restriction for the amount of subdomains you can create. Adding a new subdomain inside the account takes only a couple of clicks in the Hepsia hosting CP and during the process you can choose the folder the subdomain is going to access if it will be different from the default one, set up custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions if you need them or create a dedicated IP address rather than the shared server one if you have added this upgrade to your semi-dedicated account. After the subdomain is created, you will be able to access logs and visitor stats or easily jump to the site files for it in the File Manager section using quick access buttons. All subdomains you have inside the account will be conveniently listed under their root domain, so you're going to be able to find and manage any one of them with ease.
