A subdomain is a part of a web address that's under the main domain, such as 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 even be hosted with a different company if you want to use a certain feature that's 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 acquire your products. In addition, you can have a forum in which they can comment on the products and by employing subdomains rather than subfolders you'll avoid any probability of all websites going down when you perform maintenance, or update one of the website scripts. Keeping your sites separated is more secure in the case of a script security breach.
Subdomains in Web Hosting
Every single web hosting plan which we supply will permit you to create hundreds of subdomains with no more than a few mouse clicks within your hosting CP. They will all be listed in the area where you create them and arranged under the main domain for more convenience, so you can effortlessly keep an eye on them all. In addition, you can access a lot of functions for any one of the subdomains using right-click context menus - for example, you can view or edit their DNS records, access the website files, plus much more. While creating a new subdomain, you will also have a number of options that you can pick from - specify the default access folder, set customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or select if the subdomain is going to use a shared or a dedicated IP address. What number of subdomains you will have is entirely up to you because we have not limited this feature for any one of our plans.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers
Our Linux semi-dedicated hosting service do not have a limit for the amount of subdomains which you can create. Adding a new subdomain inside the account takes only a few mouse clicks inside the Hepsia web hosting CP and in the process you can choose the folder the subdomain will access if it will be different from the default one, set up custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions if you need them or create a dedicated IP address as opposed to the shared server one if you have added such an upgrade to your semi-dedicated account. Once the subdomain is set up, you will be able to access logs and visitor stats or quickly jump to the site files for it in the File Manager area using fast access buttons. All subdomains that you've got inside the account will be conveniently listed under their root domain, so you are going to be able to find and manage any one of them effortlessly.
