A subdomain is part of a web address that's under the main domain, such as name.example.com. Technically, 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 company if you wish to use a feature which isn't provided by your current provider. One example for using a subdomain is if you have a company site and 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 instead of subfolders you are going to avoid any risk of all sites going down when you perform maintenance, or update one of the website scripts. Keeping your sites separated is more secure in case there is a script security breach.
Subdomains in Shared Website Hosting
When you acquire a shared website hosting plan from our company, you're going to be able to create subdomains with ease through your Hepsia hosting CP. We've decided not to restrict their amount, so even when you host only one domain in the account, you will be able to create as many subdomains as you wish and have a different website for every one. During the creation of a subdomain, you are able to select the folder in the account that it will open, create custom 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 domain addresses and the subdomains that you create for them are going to be conveniently listed in alphabetical order in one spot and you'll be able to gain access to numerous functions for every one of them with right-click context menus - records, files, etc.
