A subdomain is a part of a web address that's under the main domain name, such as name.example.com. Actually, even in www.example.com the "www" element is a subdomain since the fully qualified domain name is just "example.com". Every subdomain can have its own web site and records and can even be hosted through a different company if you wish to use a feature which is not offered by your current provider. An example for using a subdomain is if you have a company site along with an online store under a subdomain where customers can buy your products. In addition, you can have a forum where they can talk about the products and by using subdomains as opposed to subfolders you will avoid any risk of all sites going down when you perform maintenance, or update one of the site scripts. Keeping the websites separated is also more secure in the event of a script security breach.
Subdomains in Cloud Hosting
Our cloud hosting packages will enable you to set up numerous subdomains for any domain name hosted inside your account without any hassle. Assuming that the main domain name is added, it will take 2 mouse clicks to set up a subdomain and choose what folder it will open (if different from the default one), set 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 of them and by using fast access buttons you can see the error logs, visitor statistics or website files for that specific subdomain. We have not set a restriction for the total amount of subdomains which you can create with any one of our plans, so you can have as many as you want.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting
When you acquire a semi-dedicated server plan, you're going to be able to create as many subdomains as you would like as this feature is unlimited. Since the hosting packages are very powerful, we've 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 select which folder it will access within the account, to enable FrontPage Extensions for it, to set up custom error pages, to set a shared or a dedicated IP address if you have one, and many more. To make it easier for you, all of the subdomains will be listed under their root domain, so you can effortlessly see and control them. Using fast access links, you'll have the ability to open the website files for each of the subdomains that you have or see its DNS records.
