A subdomain is a part of a web address which is under the main domain name, for instance name.example.com. Actually, even in www.example.com the "www" part is a subdomain because the fully qualified domain name is just "example.com". Every subdomain can have its own site and records and can even be hosted using a different company if you want to use some feature which isn't provided by your current provider. An illustration for using a subdomain is if you have a business site along with an online store under a subdomain where customers can buy your products. You can even have a forum in which they can discuss the products and by using subdomains rather than subfolders you will avoid any probability of all websites going down if you perform maintenance, or update one of the website scripts. Keeping the sites separated is also less risky in the event of a script security breach.
Subdomains in Website Hosting
When you buy a website hosting plan from us, you're going to be able to create subdomains effortlessly through your Hepsia website hosting CP. We've decided not to limit their number, so in case you host just one domain address in the account, you will be able to create as many subdomains as you wish and have a different site for each and every one. During the creation of a subdomain, you can pick the folder within 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 domains and the subdomains you create for them will be conveniently listed in alphabetical order in one place and you will be able to gain access to lots of functions for every one of them with right-click context menus - records, files, etc.
