A subdomain is a part of a web address which is under the main domain, such as 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 can have its own web site and records and can also be hosted through a different provider if you need to use a certain feature that isn't provided by your current provider. An illustration for using a subdomain is if you have a business site along with an online store under a subdomain where clients can acquire your products. You can even have a forum in which they can talk about the products and by using subdomains instead of subfolders you are going to avoid any probability of all sites going down when you perform maintenance, or update one of the site scripts. Keeping the sites separated is more secure in the event of a script security breach.

Subdomains in Website Hosting

If you get a website hosting package from our company, you are going to be able to create subdomains effortlessly via your Hepsia website hosting CP. We have decided not to restrict their number, so even if you host only 1 domain name in the account, you'll be able to create as many subdomains as you wish and have a different website for every one of them. During the creation of a subdomain, you'll be able to choose the folder inside 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 more. All hosted domain addresses and the subdomains you create for them are going to be conveniently listed in alphabetical order in one spot and you are going to be able to gain access to many functions for every one of them through right-click context menus - records, files, etc.
