A subdomain is a part of a web address that is under the main domain name, for example name.example.com. Actually, even in www.example.com the "www" element is a subdomain because the fully qualified domain name is only "example.com". Each subdomain could have its own site and records and can even be hosted through a different company if you want to use a feature that's not provided by your current provider. One example for using a subdomain is if you have a company website as well as an online store under a subdomain where customers can acquire your products. You can even have a forum in which they can comment on the products and by using subdomains as an alternative to subfolders you will avoid any chance of all sites going down when you perform maintenance, or update one of the website scripts. Keeping the websites separated is also less risky in the event of a script security breach.

Subdomains in Shared Hosting

With our shared hosting packages you're going to be able to create subdomains with a couple of clicks in your website hosting Control Panel. All of them are going to be listed in one location along with the domain names hosted in the account and grouped under their own domain in order to make their management much easier. Whatever the plan that you select, you will be able to create hundreds of subdomains and set their access folder or set up custom error pages along the way. You will also have access to a lot of functions for any of them with only a mouse click, so from the same section in which you create them you can access their DNS records, files, visitor statistics, etc. In contrast to other providers, we have not restricted the amount of subdomains that you can have even if you host only one domain within the account.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you buy a semi-dedicated server package, you're going to be able to create as many subdomains as you wish because this feature is unlimited. Considering that the website hosting packages are quite powerful, we have decided not to set any cap on the number of subdomains. Our sophisticated Hepsia CP will enable you to create a new subdomain with no more than a few clicks, to choose which folder it will access within the account, to enable 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. For your convenience, all subdomains are going to be listed under their root domain, so that you can effortlessly see and manage them. Using fast access links, you will also have the ability to open the website files for any one of the subdomains that you have or view its DNS records.
