A subdomain is part of a web address that's under the main domain name, for instance 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 only "example.com". Every single subdomain can have its own site and records and can even be hosted with a different company if you need to use a specific feature that isn't provided by your current service provider. A good example for using a subdomain is if you have a company site as well as an online store under a subdomain where clients can buy your products. You can even have a forum in which they can talk about the products and by using subdomains instead of subfolders you will avoid any chance of all sites going down when you perform maintenance, or update one of the site scripts. Keeping the websites separated is less risky in case there is a script security breach.

Subdomains in Cloud Web Hosting

Each cloud web hosting plan that we provide will enable you to create numerous subdomains with no more than a few clicks within your website hosting CP. They're going to be listed in the area where you create them and grouped under the main domain for more convenience, so you can very easily keep tabs on them all. In addition, you can access lots of functions for any one of the subdomains via right-click context menus - as an example, you can view or edit their DNS records, access the website files, and much more. While creating a new subdomain, you're also going to have many options that you can select from - define the default access folder, create customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or choose if the subdomain will use a shared or a dedicated IP address. The amount of subdomains you will have is 100 % up to you since we haven't limited this feature for any of our packages.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers

When you purchase a semi-dedicated server package, you are going to be able to create as many subdomains as you want because this feature is unrestricted. Since the hosting packages are quite powerful, we have decided not to put any restriction on the amount of subdomains. Our innovative Hepsia CP will permit you to create a new subdomain with no more than a couple of clicks, to choose which folder it's going to access inside the account, to activate FrontPage Extensions for it, to set up unique error pages, to create a shared or a dedicated IP address if you have one, and more. To make it easier for you, all of the subdomains are going to be listed under their root domain, so you can very easily see and manage them. Through quick access links, you'll also be able to open the website files for each of the subdomains that you have or check out its DNS records.
