A subdomain is part of a web address that's under the main domain, such as name.example.com. Actually, even in www.example.com the "www" element is a subdomain because the fully qualified domain name is just "example.com". Every single subdomain can have its own website and records and can even be hosted with a different company if you want to use a certain feature which is not provided by your current service provider. One example for using a subdomain is if you have a company site along with an online store under a subdomain where clients can acquire your products. You can even have a forum where they can talk about the products and by using subdomains as opposed to subfolders you will avoid any risk of all sites going down when you perform maintenance, or update one of the website scripts. Keeping your websites separated is also more secure in case there is a script security breach.

Subdomains in Cloud Hosting

If you purchase a cloud hosting plan through us, you're going to be able to create subdomains easily via your Hepsia hosting CP. We've decided not to limit their amount, so even when you host just one domain address in the account, you're going to be able to create as many subdomains as you want and have a different site for each and every one of them. During the creation of a subdomain, you are able to pick the folder within the account that it will open, create customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions and error logs, pick a server shared IP address or a dedicated one if you have such, and much more. All hosted domain names and the subdomains that you create for them will be conveniently listed in alphabetical order in one spot and you'll be able to access lots of functions for every single one of them with right-click context menus - records, files, etc.
