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 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 using a different provider if you need to use a feature that isn't provided by your current provider. One example for using a subdomain is if you have a business website and an online store under a subdomain where clients can purchase your products. You can even have a forum in which they can discuss the products and by employing subdomains instead of subfolders you'll avoid any chance of all websites going down when you perform maintenance, or update one of the site scripts. Keeping your sites separated is also more secure in case there is a script security breach.
Subdomains in Cloud Website Hosting
When you obtain a cloud website hosting package through us, you will be able to create subdomains easily through your Hepsia hosting CP. We have decided not to restrict their amount, so in case you host only 1 domain in the account, you're going to be able to create as many subdomains as you want and have a different site for each and every one. During the creation of a subdomain, you can select the folder within the account that it's going to open, set up custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions and error logs, pick a server shared IP address or a dedicated one if you have such, and much more. All hosted domains and the subdomains that you create for them are going to be conveniently listed in alphabetical order in one location and you will be able to access numerous functions for each one of them with right-click context menus - records, files, etc.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting
You are able to create as many subdomains as you wish with any one of our Linux semi-dedicated packages because we haven't set a maximum limit for this feature. The Hepsia website hosting CP will permit you to add a new subdomain with only a few clicks and you will be able to access a variety of advanced features during the process - change the default access folder, pick the IP address the subdomain will use from the shared and dedicated ones which are available in your account, activate FrontPage Extensions, add an SSL certificate, and more. Even if you create a large number of subdomains, you are going to be able to keep track of them with ease as they are going to be listed in alphabetical order below their main domain. For every single one of them, you are able to access the web site files or check out logs and usage stats using instant access buttons.
