A subdomain is a part of a web address that is under the main domain name, such as name.example.com. Actually, even in www.example.com the "www" part is a subdomain given that the fully qualified domain name is just "example.com". Every subdomain could have its own web site and records and can also 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 business site as well as an online store under a subdomain where clients can buy your products. You can also have a forum where they can talk about the products and by using subdomains instead of subfolders you are going to avoid any chance of all websites going down if you perform maintenance, or update one of the site scripts. Keeping the sites separated is also more secure in the case of a script security breach.

Subdomains in Web Hosting

Each web hosting package which we provide will permit you to create many subdomains with no more than a few clicks within your hosting Control Panel. They will all be listed in the area where you create them and grouped under the main domain for more convenience, so you can easily keep track of every one of them. Additionally, you can access lots of functions for any of the subdomains through right-click context menus - for instance, you can view or change their DNS records, access the site files, and a lot more. While setting up a new subdomain, you are also going to have a number of options that you can choose from - specify the default access folder, set custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or pick if the subdomain is going to use a shared or a dedicated IP address. What number of subdomains you are going to have is totally up to you as we have not limited this feature for any one of our packages.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you buy a semi-dedicated server package, you will be able to create as many subdomains as you'd like since this feature is unlimited. For the reason that the website hosting plans are rather powerful, we have decided not to put any cap on the amount of subdomains. Our sophisticated Hepsia Control Panel will permit you to create a new subdomain with no more than a couple of clicks, to select which folder it will access inside 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 more. To make it easier for you, all of the subdomains are going to be listed under their root domain, so that you can very easily see and handle them. With instant access links, you'll also have the ability to open the site files for any one of the subdomains that you have or view its DNS records.
