A subdomain is a part of a web address that's under the main domain name, for instance name.example.com. Actually, even in www.example.com the "www" part is a subdomain given that the fully qualified domain name is only "example.com". Every single subdomain can have its own site and records and can even be hosted through a different provider if you need to use some 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 purchase your products. You can also have a forum in which they can discuss the products and by using subdomains as an alternative to subfolders you'll avoid any risk of all sites going down when you perform maintenance, or update one of the website scripts. Keeping your sites separated is less risky in case of a script security breach.

Subdomains in Shared Web Hosting

When you purchase a shared web hosting package from our company, you're going to be able to create subdomains easily through your Hepsia hosting CP. We've decided not to limit their number, so even if you host only one domain in the account, you will be able to create as many subdomains as you would like and have a different website for every single one of them. During the creation of a subdomain, you are able to pick the folder in the account that it will 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 much more. All hosted domains and the subdomains that you create for them are going to be conveniently listed in alphabetical order in one place and you'll be able to gain access to lots of functions for every single one of them through right-click context menus - records, files, etc.
