A subdomain is part of a web address that's under the main domain name, for instance name.example.com. Actually, even in www.example.com the "www" part is a subdomain since the fully qualified domain name is just "example.com". Every subdomain could have its own site and records and can also be hosted with a different company if you wish to use a feature which isn't provided by your current service provider. A good example for using a subdomain is if you have a business site along with an online store under a subdomain where customers can purchase your products. You can even have a forum where they can talk about the products and by employing subdomains instead of subfolders you are going to avoid any risk of all sites going down if you perform maintenance, or update one of the website scripts. Keeping the websites separated is also more secure in case of a script security breach.

Subdomains in Shared Website Hosting

When you obtain a shared website hosting package from our company, you are going to be able to create subdomains with ease via your Hepsia hosting CP. We have decided not to limit their amount, so even if you host only 1 domain address in the account, you'll be able to create as many subdomains as you want and have a different site for every single one. During the creation of a subdomain, you can choose the folder within the account that it will open, create customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions and error logs, select a server shared IP address or a dedicated one if you have such, and much more. All hosted domain addresses and the subdomains you create for them will be conveniently listed in alphabetical order in one location and you are going to be able to gain access to numerous functions for every single one of them through right-click context menus - records, files, etc.
