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 just "example.com". Every single subdomain can have its own website and records and can even be hosted through a different provider if you need to use some feature which isn't provided by your current service provider. A good example for using a subdomain is if you have a business site as well as an online store under a subdomain where clients can acquire your products. You can also have a forum where they can talk about the products and by employing subdomains as opposed to subfolders you'll avoid any probability of all websites going down when you perform maintenance, or update one of the website scripts. Keeping the sites separated is less risky in the event of a script security breach.
Subdomains in Cloud Hosting
Our cloud hosting plans will allow you to create numerous subdomains for every domain name hosted inside your account without any difficulty. Provided that the main domain address is added, it requires two clicks to create a subdomain and choose what folder it'll open (if different from the default one), set unique error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions, set a shared IP address or a dedicated one, plus much more. All subdomains are going to be conveniently listed in alphabetical order under their main domain for easy access and management. By right-clicking on any one of them and by using fast access buttons you can view the error logs, visitor statistics or site files for that specific subdomain. We haven't set a restriction for the amount of subdomains which you can create with any one of our plans, so you can have as many as you need.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers
Our semi-dedicated plans haven't got a restriction for the amount of subdomains you can create. Adding a new subdomain in the account takes just a few mouse clicks inside the Hepsia hosting CP and in the process you can choose the folder the subdomain will access if it is going to be different from the default one, set up tailor-made error pages, enable FrontPage Extensions if you need them or create a dedicated IP address as opposed to the shared server one in case you have added this upgrade to your semi-dedicated account. As soon as the subdomain is set up, you can access logs and visitor statistics or quickly jump to the website files for it in the File Manager area using quick access buttons. All subdomains you have within the account will be conveniently listed under their root domain, so you'll be able to find and manage any of them easily.
