A subdomain is a part of a web address that is under the main domain, for example name.example.com. Actually, even in www.example.com the "www" part is a subdomain because the fully qualified domain name is only "example.com". Each subdomain can have its own site and records and can even be hosted through a different provider if you need to use a feature which is not provided by your current provider. An illustration for using a subdomain is if you have a business site as well as an online store under a subdomain where clients can buy 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 chance of all sites going down if you perform maintenance, or update one of the site scripts. Keeping your sites separated is more secure in case of a script security breach.

Subdomains in Hosting

When you buy a hosting package from us, you are going to be able to create subdomains effortlessly via your Hepsia hosting CP. We have decided not to restrict their number, so in case you host only 1 domain name in the account, you'll be able to create as many subdomains as you want and have a different site for each one of them. During the creation of a subdomain, you'll be able to pick the folder within the account that it's going to open, create custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions and error logs, choose a server shared IP address or a dedicated one if you have such, and much more. All hosted domain addresses and the subdomains you create for them are going to be conveniently listed in alphabetical order in one place and you are going to be able to access lots of functions for every one of them with right-click context menus - records, files, etc.
