A subdomain is a part of a web address that's under the main domain, such as name.example.com. Actually, even in www.example.com the "www" part 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 also be hosted through a different provider if you wish to use some feature that is not offered by your current service provider. An illustration for using a subdomain is if you have a company website and an online store under a subdomain where customers can acquire your products. You can even have a forum where they can discuss the products and by employing subdomains instead of subfolders you'll avoid any probability of all websites going down if you perform maintenance, or update one of the website scripts. Keeping the websites separated is more secure in the case of a script security breach.
Subdomains in Cloud Hosting
Our cloud hosting plans will allow you to set up hundreds of subdomains for every domain hosted inside your account without any hassle. Assuming that the main domain name is added, it requires 2 mouse clicks to set up a subdomain and choose what folder it will open (if different from the default one), create customized 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 quick access and administration. By right-clicking on any of them and by using instant access buttons you can view the error logs, visitor statistics or site files for that specific subdomain. We have not set a restriction for the total number of subdomains you can create with any one of our plans, so you can have as many as you wish.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers
You’re able to create as many subdomains as you wish with any one of our semi-dedicated servers because we have not set an upper limit for this feature. The Hepsia website hosting CP will permit you to add a new subdomain with a few mouse clicks and you are going to be able to access a variety of advanced features during the process - change the default access folder, select the IP address the subdomain will use from the shared and dedicated ones which are offered in your account, activate FrontPage Extensions, add an SSL certificate, and much more. Even if you create a great number of subdomains, you're going to be able to keep track of all of them with ease as they will be listed in alphabetical order under their main domain. For each of them, you can even access the site files or check out logs and usage stats via instant access buttons.
