A subdomain is a part of a web address which is under the main domain name, for instance name.example.com. From a technical perspective, even in www.example.com the "www" part is a subdomain given that the fully qualified domain name is just "example.com". Every single subdomain can have its own website and records and can even be hosted through a different provider if you need to use a specific feature that is not offered by your current service 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. Additionally, you can have a forum in which they can discuss the products and by employing subdomains rather than subfolders you'll avoid any probability of all sites going down when you perform maintenance, or update one of the site scripts. Keeping the websites separated is also less risky in case of a script security breach.
Subdomains in Shared Hosting
When you obtain a shared hosting package through our company, you are going to be able to create subdomains with ease using your Hepsia hosting CP. We have decided not to restrict their number, so even if you host just one domain name in the account, you are going to be able to create as many subdomains as you want and have a different website for each and every one. During the creation of a subdomain, you can choose the folder in the account that it's going to open, set up personalized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions and error logs, pick a server shared IP address or a dedicated one if you have such, and much more. All hosted domains and the subdomains you create for them are going to be conveniently listed in alphabetical order in one spot and you will be able to access numerous functions for every one of them through right-click context menus - records, files, etc.
