A subdomain is part of a web address that's under the main domain name, for instance name.example.com. From a technical perspective, even in www.example.com the "www" element is a subdomain since the fully qualified domain name is just "example.com". Each subdomain could have its own web site and records and can also be hosted with a different provider if you need to use a specific feature that's not provided by your current provider. An example for using a subdomain is if you have a company website as well as 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 as opposed to subfolders you are going to avoid any probability of all sites going down if you perform maintenance, or update one of the site scripts. Keeping the sites separated is less risky in case of a script security breach.
Subdomains in Shared Hosting
If you obtain a shared hosting package through our company, you'll be able to create subdomains easily via your Hepsia hosting CP. We have decided not to limit their number, so in case you host only one domain address in the account, you're going to be able to create as many subdomains as you would like and have a different website for every single one. During the creation of a subdomain, you'll be able to choose the folder in the account that it's going to open, set up customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions and error logs, choose a server shared IP address or a dedicated one if you have such, and a lot more. All hosted domains and the subdomains that you create for them will be conveniently listed in alphabetical order in one spot and you are going to be able to gain access to lots of functions for every one of them through right-click context menus - records, files, etc.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting
If you purchase a semi-dedicated server package, you are going to be able to create as many subdomains as you would like since this feature is unlimited. Considering that the hosting packages are quite powerful, we have decided not to set any restriction on the amount of subdomains. Our innovative Hepsia Control Panel will permit you to create a new subdomain with no more than a few mouse clicks, to pick which folder it will access inside the account, to activate FrontPage Extensions for it, to set up unique error pages, to create a shared or a dedicated IP address if you have one, and more. For your convenience, all of the subdomains will be listed under their root domain, so you can very easily see and control them. With fast access links, you will also be able to open the website files for each of the subdomains that you have or see its DNS records.
