A subdomain is a part of a web address which is under the main domain name, for example name.example.com. Technically, even in www.example.com the "www" part is a subdomain since the fully qualified domain name is only "example.com". Every subdomain can have its own website and records and can also be hosted with a different provider if you wish to use a specific feature which is not provided by your current provider. A good example for using a subdomain is if you have a company site along with an online store under a subdomain where clients can buy your products. You can also have a forum where they can discuss the products and by employing subdomains as opposed to subfolders you will avoid any probability of all websites going down if you perform maintenance, or update one of the website scripts. Keeping the sites separated is also less risky in the event of a script security breach.

Subdomains in Shared Hosting

When you use shared hosting packages you'll be able to create subdomains with a couple of mouse clicks in your website hosting CP. All of them are going to be listed in a single location along with the domains hosted in the account and arranged under their own domain in order to make their managing much easier. Whatever the plan that you select, you will be able to create many subdomains and set their access folder or set up custom error pages along the way. You will also have access to numerous functions for any of them with just a click, so from the very same section in which you create them you can access their DNS records, files, visitor statistics, etc. Unlike other providers, we haven't restricted the number of subdomains you can have even if you host one domain in the account.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting

When you get a semi-dedicated server plan, you will be able to create as many subdomains as you would like as this feature is unrestricted. Since the web hosting plans are quite powerful, we've decided not to put any cap on the number of subdomains. Our sophisticated Hepsia CP will enable you to create a new subdomain with no more than a couple of clicks, to pick which folder it will access in 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. To make it easier for you, all the subdomains are going to be listed under their root domain, allowing you to easily see and control them. Using instant access links, you will also have the ability to open the site files for any one of the subdomains that you have or view its DNS records.
