A subdomain is a part of a web address that's under the main domain, for example name.example.com. From a technical perspective, even in www.example.com the "www" element is a subdomain because the fully qualified domain name is just "example.com". Each subdomain can have its own website and records and can also be hosted using a different provider if you need to use some feature which isn't provided by your current provider. An illustration for using a subdomain is if you have a business website along with an online store under a subdomain where clients can acquire your products. You can also have a forum where they can talk about the products and by using subdomains as opposed to subfolders you will avoid any probability 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 of a script security breach.

Subdomains in Shared Hosting

When you purchase a shared hosting package through us, you'll be able to create subdomains effortlessly using your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. We have decided not to limit their number, so in case you host only one domain in the account, you will be able to create as many subdomains as you wish and have a different site for every one of them. During the creation of a subdomain, you'll be able to select the folder within the account that it's going to open, create personalized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions and error logs, pick a server shared IP address or a dedicated one if you have such, and a lot more. All hosted domains and the subdomains you create for them are going to be conveniently listed in alphabetical order in one place and you will be able to access a lot of functions for each one of them with right-click context menus - records, files, etc.
