A subdomain is a part of a web address that's under the main domain name, such as name.example.com. From a technical perspective, even in www.example.com the "www" part is a subdomain given that the fully qualified domain name is only "example.com". Every subdomain could have its own web site and records and can even be hosted with a different company if you want to use a feature which is not provided by your current provider. One example for using a subdomain is if you have a business website as well as an online store under a subdomain where customers can acquire your products. You can also have a forum in which they can discuss the products and by using subdomains instead of subfolders you are going to avoid any risk of all websites going down if 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

When you acquire a cloud web hosting package from us, you will be able to create subdomains with ease via your Hepsia hosting CP. We have decided not to restrict their number, so in case you host only 1 domain in the account, you are going to be able to create as many subdomains as you wish and have a different site for every one. During the creation of a subdomain, you'll be able to choose the folder within the account that it's going to open, create custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions and error logs, pick a server shared IP address or a dedicated one if you have such, and more. All hosted domain names 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 a lot of functions for every one of them with right-click context menus - records, files, etc.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers

Using our semi-dedicated server plans, you're going to be able to create an unrestricted amount of subdomains for any one of the domains that you add as hosted in the account. It's going to take a couple of mouse clicks to create a new subdomain and during the process you'll be able to add tailor-made error pages for it, choose if it will use a shared or a dedicated IP, change the default folder that it'll access or activate FrontPage Extensions. All subdomains which you have in the account are going to be grouped under their root domain from a to z and you'll be able to see and manage all of them without difficulty. Using fast access buttons and right-click menus you'll also be able to jump to the site files within the File Manager section or check logs, visitor statistics and other information about any of your subdomains.
