A subdomain is a part of a web address that's under the main domain name, for example 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 web site and records and can also be hosted using a different provider if you want to use a certain feature that's not provided by your current provider. A good 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. You can also have a forum where they can comment on the products and by using subdomains as an alternative to subfolders you will avoid any chance of all websites going down if you perform maintenance, or update one of the site scripts. Keeping the websites separated is also more secure in case there is a script security breach.
Subdomains in Cloud Hosting
If you acquire a cloud hosting package through us, you will be able to create subdomains effortlessly via your Hepsia website hosting CP. We have decided not to limit their number, so in case you host only one domain in the account, you will be able to create as many subdomains as you want and have a different website for each and every one of them. During the creation of a subdomain, you'll be able to select the folder inside the account that it will open, create personalized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions and error logs, pick a server shared IP address or a dedicated one if you have such, and much more. All hosted domain names and the subdomains you create for them are going to be conveniently listed in alphabetical order in one spot and you'll be able to gain access to lots of functions for every one of them through right-click context menus - records, files, etc.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting
When you get a semi-dedicated server plan, you're going to be able to create as many subdomains as you would like because this feature is unlimited. For the reason that the website hosting packages are rather powerful, we have decided not to put any cap on the amount of subdomains. Our sophisticated Hepsia CP will allow you to create a new subdomain with no more than a few mouse clicks, to pick which folder it'll access within the account, to enable FrontPage Extensions for it, to set up custom error pages, to create a shared or a dedicated IP address if you have one, and a lot more. To make it easier for you, all of the subdomains are going to be listed under their root domain, so that you can very easily see and manage them. With quick access links, you'll also have the ability to open the website files for each of the subdomains that you have or see its DNS records.
