A subdomain is a part of a web address that's under the main domain, for example name.example.com. Technically, even in www.example.com the "www" part is a subdomain since the fully qualified domain name is only "example.com". Every subdomain could have its own site and records and can also be hosted using a different company if you want to use a certain feature that isn't provided by your current service provider. A good example for using a subdomain is if you have a company website along with an online store under a subdomain where customers can acquire your products. You can even 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 website scripts. Keeping the sites separated is less risky in case there is a script security breach.

Subdomains in Shared Web Hosting

When you acquire a shared web hosting package through us, you're going to be able to create subdomains easily using your Hepsia website hosting Control Panel. We have decided not to restrict their number, so even when you host only 1 domain address in the account, you are going to be able to create as many subdomains as you would like and have a different site for each and every one. During the creation of a subdomain, you'll be able to choose the folder within the account that it's going to open, set up customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions and error logs, select a server shared IP address or a dedicated one if you have such, and more. All hosted domain addresses and the subdomains that you create for them are going to be conveniently listed in alphabetical order in one spot and you will be able to access many functions for every one of them with right-click context menus - records, files, etc.
