A subdomain is a part of a web address that is under the main domain, 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 subdomain could have its own website and records and can also be hosted with a different company if you wish to use a specific feature that's not provided by your current service provider. An example for using a subdomain is if you have a business website along with an online store under a subdomain where customers can acquire your products. You can also have a forum in which they can talk about the products and by employing subdomains rather than subfolders you'll avoid any chance of all sites going down when you perform maintenance, or update one of the site scripts. Keeping your sites separated is less risky in the case of a script security breach.

Subdomains in Cloud Hosting

Using our cloud hosting plans you'll be able to create subdomains with a couple of clicks in your web hosting CP. All of them are going to be listed in one spot along with the domains hosted in the account and grouped under their own domain in order to make their management easier. No matter the plan that you choose, you'll be able to create hundreds of subdomains and set their access folder or create custom error pages in the process. Additionally, you'll have access to many functions for any of them with only a click, so from the exact same section in which you create them you can access their DNS records, files, visitor statistics, etc. Unlike other companies, we haven't limited the amount of subdomains you can have even if you host one domain name inside the account.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our semi-dedicated servers do not have a restriction for the amount of subdomains which you can create. Adding a new subdomain inside the account takes just a few clicks within the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel and during the process you can choose the folder the subdomain will access if it will be different from the default one, create tailor-made error pages, enable FrontPage Extensions if you need them or create a dedicated IP address rather than the shared server one if you have added such an upgrade to your semi-dedicated account. After the subdomain is created, you will be able to access logs and visitor statistics or easily jump to the site files for it in the File Manager section through fast access buttons. All subdomains you've got within the account will be conveniently listed under their root domain, so you will be able to find and manage any of them with ease.
