A subdomain is a part of a web address that is under the main domain, such as name.example.com. From a technical perspective, even in www.example.com the "www" part is a subdomain because the fully qualified domain name is only "example.com". Each subdomain can have its own site and records and can even be hosted with a different provider if you wish to use a specific feature that is not provided by your current service provider. One example for using a subdomain is if you have a business website as well as an online store under a subdomain where customers can buy your products. In addition, you can have a forum in which they can talk about the products and by using subdomains rather than 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 more secure in case of a script security breach.

Subdomains in Cloud Website Hosting

When you buy a cloud website hosting package from us, you're going to be able to create subdomains easily through your Hepsia website hosting Control Panel. We have decided not to limit their amount, so in case you host only 1 domain name in the account, you will be able to create as many subdomains as you want and have a different site for every one of them. During the creation of a subdomain, you can choose the folder in the account that it's going to open, create custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions and error logs, choose a server shared IP address or a dedicated one if you have such, and 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 are going to be able to gain access to lots of functions for every one of them through right-click context menus - records, files, etc.
