A subdomain is part of a web address that's under the main domain, for instance name.example.com. Technically, even in www.example.com the "www" element 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 through a different provider if you want to use some feature which isn't offered by your current service provider. One example for using a subdomain is if you have a company site and an online store under a subdomain where customers can purchase your products. You can also have a forum where they can talk about the products and by employing subdomains as an alternative to subfolders you'll avoid any probability of all sites going down when you perform maintenance, or update one of the website scripts. Keeping your websites separated is more secure in the case of a script security breach.

Subdomains in Website Hosting

If you get a website hosting plan through us, you'll be able to create subdomains with ease through your Hepsia website hosting CP. We have decided not to limit their amount, so even when you host only one domain name in the account, you're going to be able to create as many subdomains as you want and have a different site for every single one of them. During the creation of a subdomain, you are able to pick the folder within the account that it's going to 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 more. All hosted domains and the subdomains that you create for them will be conveniently listed in alphabetical order in one place and you are going to be able to gain access to numerous functions for every one of them with right-click context menus - records, files, etc.
