A subdomain is a part of a web address which is under the main domain name, such as name.example.com. Technically, even in www.example.com the "www" part is a subdomain given that the fully qualified domain name is only "example.com". Every single subdomain can have its own web site and records and can also be hosted through a different provider if you want to use some feature which is not provided 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 customers can purchase your products. Additionally, you can have a forum where they can talk about the products and by employing subdomains rather than subfolders you are going to avoid any probability of all sites going down if 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
If you purchase a cloud hosting plan from us, you are going to be able to create subdomains easily via your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. We have decided not to restrict their number, so in case you host just one domain in the account, you are going to 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 are able to choose the folder within the account that it will open, set up personalized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions and error logs, choose a server shared IP address or a dedicated one if you have such, plus much more. All hosted domains and the subdomains you create for them are going to be conveniently listed in alphabetical order in one spot and you are going to be able to access lots of functions for every single one of them through right-click context menus - records, files, etc.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers
You will be able to create as many subdomains as you wish with any one of our semi-dedicated hosting plans as we have not set an upper limit for this feature. The Hepsia web hosting CP will permit you to add a new subdomain with just a few mouse clicks and you can access a number of advanced features during the process - change the default access folder, choose the IP address the subdomain will use from the shared and dedicated ones that are offered in your account, activate FrontPage Extensions, add an SSL certificate, and more. Even if you create a huge amount of subdomains, you'll be able to keep track of all of them with ease because they are going to be listed in alphabetical order under their main domain. For any of them, you can even access the site files or check out logs and usage statistics through instant access buttons.
