A subdomain is a part of a web address which is under the main domain, for example name.example.com. Technically, even in www.example.com the "www" part is a subdomain given that the fully qualified domain name is just "example.com". Every subdomain can have its own website and records and can also be hosted through a different company if you need to use a feature which isn't provided by your current provider. An example for using a subdomain is if you have a business website along with an online store under a subdomain where clients can buy your products. Additionally, you can have a forum where they can discuss the products and by using subdomains as opposed to subfolders you are going to avoid any risk of all sites going down when you perform maintenance, or update one of the site scripts. Keeping your websites separated is also more secure in case of a script security breach.

Subdomains in Web Hosting

If you acquire a web hosting package from us, you will be able to create subdomains with ease through your Hepsia website hosting Control Panel. We have decided not to restrict their amount, so even if you host just one domain in the account, you're going to be able to create as many subdomains as you would like and have a different site for each one of them. During the creation of a subdomain, you can pick the folder within 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 a lot more. All hosted domain names and the subdomains you create for them are going to be conveniently listed in alphabetical order in one place and you'll be able to access numerous functions for each one of them with right-click context menus - records, files, etc.
