A subdomain is part of a web address that's under the main domain, for instance name.example.com. Actually, even in www.example.com the "www" element is a subdomain since the fully qualified domain name is just "example.com". Every subdomain could have its own web site and records and can also be hosted through a different provider if you want to use a certain feature that is not provided by your current service provider. One example for using a subdomain is if you have a business website and an online store under a subdomain where clients can acquire your products. You can even have a forum where they can discuss the products and by using subdomains as an alternative 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 the sites separated is also more secure in the case of a script security breach.
Subdomains in Shared Website Hosting
When you buy a shared website hosting package through us, you will be able to create subdomains easily through your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. We've decided not to restrict their amount, so in case you host just one domain name in the account, you are going to be able to create as many subdomains as you want and have a different website for each and every one. During the creation of a subdomain, you'll be able to choose the folder inside the account that it's going to open, create personalized 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 that you create for them will be conveniently listed in alphabetical order in one place and you will be able to gain access to numerous functions for each one of them with right-click context menus - records, files, etc.
