A subdomain is part of a web address that is under the main domain name, for example 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". Every subdomain could have its own website and records and can also be hosted using a different provider if you wish to use a specific feature which is not provided by your current service provider. An example for using a subdomain is if you have a company website and an online store under a subdomain where clients can acquire your products. Additionally, you can have a forum where they can talk about the products and by employing subdomains rather than subfolders you are going to avoid any chance of all websites going down when you perform maintenance, or update one of the website scripts. Keeping the sites separated is also less risky in case of a script security breach.
Subdomains in Cloud Website Hosting
When you use cloud website hosting packages you will be able to create subdomains with a few mouse clicks in your web hosting Control Panel. All of them will be listed in a single location together with the domains hosted in the account and arranged under their own domain so as to make their management much easier. Regardless of the plan that you choose, you're going to be able to create many subdomains and set their access folder or set up custom error pages in the process. You'll have access to a lot of functions for any of them with just a click, so from the exact same section in which you create them you can access their DNS records, files, visitor statistics, etc. As opposed to other companies, we have not restricted the amount of subdomains which you can have even if you host only one domain in the account.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting
When you acquire a semi-dedicated server package, you will be able to create as many subdomains as you'd like because this feature is unrestricted. For the reason that the website hosting plans are quite powerful, we have decided not to put any restriction on the number of subdomains. Our advanced Hepsia Control Panel will permit you to create a new subdomain with no more than a few clicks, to pick which folder it'll access within the account, to enable 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. For your convenience, all the subdomains will be listed under their root domain, so that you can easily see and manage them. Through instant access links, you'll also have the ability to open the website files for any of the subdomains that you have or see its DNS records.
