A subdomain is a part of a web address that's under the main domain, for example name.example.com. Actually, even in www.example.com the "www" element is a subdomain because the fully qualified domain name is only "example.com". Every single subdomain could have its own website and records and can even be hosted through a different company if you need to use a certain feature that isn't provided by your current service provider. A good example for using a subdomain is if you have a company website as well as an online store under a subdomain where clients can purchase your products. Additionally, you can have a forum where they can comment on the products and by using subdomains as opposed to subfolders you'll avoid any probability of all websites going down if you perform maintenance, or update one of the website scripts. Keeping your sites separated is more secure in case of a script security breach.

Subdomains in Cloud Web Hosting

If you buy a cloud web hosting plan from our company, you're going to be able to create subdomains with ease through your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. We've decided not to limit their number, so even if you host just one domain address in the account, you are going to be able to create as many subdomains as you want and have a different site for each one. During the creation of a subdomain, you'll be able to choose the folder within the account that it's going to 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, plus much more. All hosted domains and the subdomains you create for them are going to be conveniently listed in alphabetical order in one place and you'll be able to gain access to numerous functions for each one of them with right-click context menus - records, files, etc.
