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 only "example.com". Every subdomain could have its own web site and records and can even be hosted through a different provider if you need to use a certain feature that isn't provided by your current service provider. An illustration for using a subdomain is if you have a business site as well as an online store under a subdomain where customers can acquire your products. You can also have a forum where they can talk about the products and by employing subdomains instead of subfolders you will avoid any chance of all websites going down when you perform maintenance, or update one of the site scripts. Keeping your websites separated is also less risky in the event of a script security breach.
Subdomains in Shared Web Hosting
If you purchase a shared web hosting plan from our company, you'll be able to create subdomains effortlessly through your Hepsia website hosting Control Panel. We have decided not to restrict their number, so even if you host just one domain address in the account, you will be able to create as many subdomains as you want and have a different site for each one of them. During the creation of a subdomain, you can pick the folder within the account that it'll open, set up custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions and error logs, select a server shared IP address or a dedicated one if you have such, and more. All hosted domain names and the subdomains that you create for them will be conveniently listed in alphabetical order in one location and you are going to be able to gain access to a lot of functions for every single one of them through right-click context menus - records, files, etc.
