A subdomain is part of a web address which is under the main domain name, such as name.example.com. Technically, even in www.example.com the "www" element is a subdomain since the fully qualified domain name is just "example.com". Each subdomain could have its own site and records and can even be hosted with a different provider if you need to use some feature that is not 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 purchase your products. Additionally, you can have a forum where they can comment on the products and by using subdomains rather than subfolders you'll avoid any chance of all sites going down if you perform maintenance, or update one of the site scripts. Keeping the sites separated is also less risky in the event of a script security breach.

Subdomains in Shared Hosting

Every single shared hosting plan that we provide will enable you to create numerous subdomains with no more than a couple of mouse clicks inside your hosting Control Panel. They are going to be listed in the section in which you create them and grouped under the main domain for more convenience, so that you can effortlessly monitor every one of them. Additionally, you can access lots of functions for any one of the subdomains via right-click context menus - for example, you can view or change their DNS records, access the website files, plus much more. While creating a new subdomain, you'll also have many options that you can pick from - define the default access folder, set unique error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or decide if the subdomain will use a shared or a dedicated IP address. The amount of subdomains you will have is entirely up to you since we haven't limited this feature for any of our packages.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers

When you get a semi-dedicated server package, you'll be able to create as many subdomains as you wish simply because this feature is unrestricted. Considering that the hosting plans are rather powerful, we have decided not to set any limit on the number of subdomains. Our state-of-the-art Hepsia CP will enable you to create a new subdomain with no more than a couple of mouse clicks, to pick which folder it is going to access within the account, to enable FrontPage Extensions for it, to set up unique error pages, to set a shared or a dedicated IP address if you have one, and a lot more. For your convenience, all the subdomains are going to be listed under their root domain, so that you can easily see and handle them. With instant access links, you'll also be able to open the site files for any one of the subdomains that you have or see its DNS records.
