A subdomain is part of a web address that is under the main domain, for instance name.example.com. Actually, even in www.example.com the "www" element is a subdomain given that the fully qualified domain name is just "example.com". Every single subdomain can have its own site and records and can also be hosted using a different company if you wish to use a certain feature that is not provided by your current provider. An example for using a subdomain is if you have a company website and an online store under a subdomain where customers can acquire your products. You can also have a forum where they can talk about the products and by employing subdomains as opposed to subfolders you'll avoid any chance of all sites going down if you perform maintenance, or update one of the website scripts. Keeping the sites separated is also more secure in case there is a script security breach.

Subdomains in Shared Hosting

Our shared hosting plans will allow you to set up countless subdomains for any domain hosted inside your account without any hassle. Assuming that the main domain address is added, it takes two clicks to set up a subdomain and choose what folder it's going to open (if different from the default one), create unique error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions, set a shared IP address or a dedicated one, and much 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 of them and by using fast access buttons you can view the error logs, visitor statistics or website files for that specific subdomain. We haven't set a restriction for the total amount of subdomains that you can create with any one of our plans, so you can have as many as you need.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you buy a semi-dedicated server package, you are going to be able to create as many subdomains as you'd like since this feature is unrestricted. Since the hosting plans are very powerful, we've decided not to put any cap on the number of subdomains. Our innovative Hepsia Control Panel will allow you to create a new subdomain with no more than a couple of mouse clicks, to choose which folder it is going to access in the account, to activate FrontPage Extensions for it, to create custom error pages, to set a shared or a dedicated IP address if you have one, and much more. To make it easier for you, all of the subdomains will be listed under their root domain, allowing you to very easily see and handle them. With instant access links, you'll be able to open the site files for any one of the subdomains that you have or see its DNS records.
