A subdomain is a part of a web address that is under the main domain, such as name.example.com. Technically, even in www.example.com the "www" part is a subdomain since the fully qualified domain name is only "example.com". Each subdomain can have its own web site and records and can also be hosted with a different provider if you need to use a certain feature which isn't provided by your current service provider. One example for using a subdomain is if you have a company site and an online store under a subdomain where customers can buy your products. You can also have a forum in which they can discuss the products and by employing subdomains as an alternative to subfolders you will avoid any chance of all websites going down if you perform maintenance, or update one of the website scripts. Keeping your sites separated is also more secure in case of a script security breach.

Subdomains in Web Hosting

Our web hosting packages will enable you to create numerous subdomains for any domain name hosted inside your account without any difficulty. Provided that the main domain address is added, it takes two clicks to set up a subdomain and select 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, and a lot more. All subdomains are going to be conveniently listed in alphabetical order under their main domain for effortless access and administration. By right-clicking on any one of them and by using quick access buttons you can view the error logs, visitor statistics or site files for that specific subdomain. We haven't set a limit for the total number of subdomains that you can create with any one of our plans, so you can have as many as you want.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you purchase a semi-dedicated server plan, you'll be able to create as many subdomains as you'd like as this feature is unlimited. Since the web hosting plans are very powerful, we have decided not to put any cap on the number of subdomains. Our innovative Hepsia CP will allow you to create a new subdomain with no more than a few mouse clicks, to choose which folder it's going to access inside the account, to activate FrontPage Extensions for it, to create unique error pages, to create a shared or a dedicated IP address if you have one, and more. For your convenience, all of the subdomains will be listed under their root domain, allowing you to easily see and control them. Using instant access links, you will also have the ability to open the website files for any of the subdomains that you have or check out its DNS records.
