A subdomain is a part of a web address that's under the main domain name, such as name.example.com. Actually, even in www.example.com the "www" part is a subdomain because the fully qualified domain name is just "example.com". Every subdomain can have its own web site and records and can even be hosted with a different company if you want to use a certain feature that is not provided by your current provider. An example for using a subdomain is if you have a company website along with an online store under a subdomain where customers can buy your products. You can even have a forum where they can discuss the products and by using subdomains instead of subfolders you will avoid any chance of all sites going down if you perform maintenance, or update one of the site scripts. Keeping your websites separated is less risky in case there is a script security breach.
Subdomains in Web Hosting
If you buy a web hosting package from our company, you're going to be able to create subdomains with ease through your Hepsia website hosting Control Panel. We have decided not to restrict their amount, so even when you host only one domain in the account, you will be able to create as many subdomains as you would like and have a different site for every single one. During the creation of a subdomain, you can select the folder inside the account that it's going to open, set up customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions and error logs, pick a server shared IP address or a dedicated one if you have such, and more. All hosted domain addresses and the subdomains that you create for them will be conveniently listed in alphabetical order in one place and you'll be able to access many functions for each one of them through right-click context menus - records, files, etc.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting
If you acquire a semi-dedicated server package, you will be able to create as many subdomains as you would like because this feature is unrestricted. For the reason that the hosting packages are rather powerful, we've decided not to set any cap on the amount of subdomains. Our innovative Hepsia Control Panel will allow you to create a new subdomain with no more than a couple of mouse clicks, to choose which folder it's going to access within the account, to activate 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. To make it easier for you, all the subdomains will be listed under their root domain, so that you can easily see and control them. Using fast access links, you'll have the ability to open the website files for any one of the subdomains that you have or check out its DNS records.
