A subdomain is a part of a web address which is under the main domain name, such as 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 need to use a feature that's not offered by your current service provider. One example for using a subdomain is if you have a company site along with an online store under a subdomain where customers can purchase your products. Additionally, you can have a forum where they can discuss the products and by using subdomains as an alternative to subfolders you are going to avoid any risk of all websites going down if you perform maintenance, or update one of the site scripts. Keeping your websites separated is also more secure in the event of a script security breach.
Subdomains in Shared Hosting
When you obtain a shared hosting package from our company, you're going to be able to create subdomains effortlessly through your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. We've decided not to restrict 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 of them. During the creation of a subdomain, you can pick the folder within the account that it will open, set up custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions and error logs, choose a server shared IP address or a dedicated one if you have such, and a lot more. All hosted domains and the subdomains that you create for them will be conveniently listed in alphabetical order in one spot and you are going to be able to access many functions for every single one of them through right-click context menus - records, files, etc.
