Subdomains

What precisely is a subdomain? How can you make one? How can it help your Internet presence?

A subdomain is a part of a web address which is under the main domain name, for instance name.example.com. Technically, even in www.example.com the "www" part is a subdomain since the fully qualified domain name is just "example.com". Each subdomain could have its own site and records and can also be hosted with a different provider if you need to use a certain feature which is not provided by your current provider. One example for using a subdomain is if you have a company site and an online store under a subdomain where customers can acquire your products. Additionally, you can have a forum in which they can comment on the products and by employing subdomains as an alternative to subfolders you'll avoid any chance of all websites going down when you perform maintenance, or update one of the website scripts. Keeping your websites separated is less risky in case of a script security breach.

Subdomains in Website Hosting

When you purchase a website hosting plan from us, you will be able to create subdomains easily using your Hepsia hosting CP. We have decided not to restrict their number, so even when you host just one domain address in the account, you will be able to create as many subdomains as you want and have a different website for each one of them. During the creation of a subdomain, you'll be able to select the folder inside the account that it will open, create 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 domain names and the subdomains you create for them are going to be conveniently listed in alphabetical order in one location and you will be able to gain access to lots of functions for every single one of them with right-click context menus - records, files, etc.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers

You will be able to create as many subdomains as you want with any of our Linux semi-dedicated hosting plans because we haven't set a maximum limit for this feature. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel will allow you to add a new subdomain with a few clicks and you can access a number of advanced features during the process - modify the default access folder, choose the IP address the subdomain will use from the shared and dedicated ones that are provided in your account, activate FrontPage Extensions, add an SSL certificate, and a lot more. Even if you create a large number of subdomains, you will be able to keep track of all of them with ease because they will be listed in alphabetical order below their main domain. For any one of them, you are able to access the site files or see logs and usage statistics using instant access buttons.
