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" element is a subdomain because the fully qualified domain name is just "example.com". Each subdomain can have its own web site and records and can even be hosted through a different provider if you want to use a specific feature that is not provided by your current service provider. An 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 even have a forum where they can talk about the products and by employing subdomains as an alternative to subfolders you are going to avoid any risk of all websites going down when you perform maintenance, or update one of the website scripts. Keeping the websites separated is less risky in the case of a script security breach.

Subdomains in Shared Website Hosting

If you acquire a shared website hosting plan through us, you'll be able to create subdomains effortlessly using your Hepsia website hosting Control Panel. We have decided not to restrict their number, so even if you host only one domain address in the account, you are going to be able to create as many subdomains as you would like and have a different site for every one. During the creation of a subdomain, you can pick the folder within the account that it'll open, set up custom 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 domains and the subdomains you create for them will be conveniently listed in alphabetical order in one place and you'll be able to access many functions for each one of them with right-click context menus - records, files, etc.
