A subdomain is part of a web address that is under the main domain name, such as name.example.com. From a technical perspective, even in www.example.com the "www" element is a subdomain given that the fully qualified domain name is just "example.com". Each subdomain could have its own site and records and can also be hosted through a different provider if you wish to use a specific feature which isn't provided by your current service provider. An illustration for using a subdomain is if you have a company website along with an online store under a subdomain where clients can purchase your products. You can also have a forum in which they can discuss the products and by employing subdomains as opposed to subfolders you are going to avoid any chance of all websites going down if you perform maintenance, or update one of the site scripts. Keeping your sites separated is less risky in the case of a script security breach.

Subdomains in Cloud Hosting

When you obtain a cloud hosting plan from our company, you will be able to create subdomains easily using your Hepsia website hosting Control Panel. We have decided not to restrict their amount, so even if you host just one domain address 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 are able to select 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, plus much more. All hosted domain names and the subdomains you create for them will be conveniently listed in alphabetical order in one spot and you'll be able to access many functions for every single one of them with right-click context menus - records, files, etc.
