A subdomain is a part of a web address which is under the main domain, such as name.example.com. Actually, even in www.example.com the "www" part is a subdomain since the fully qualified domain name is just "example.com". Every single subdomain could have its own website and records and can also be hosted using a different provider if you need to use a certain feature which isn't provided by your current provider. One example for using a subdomain is if you have a business website along with an online store under a subdomain where clients can buy your products. Additionally, you can have a forum where they can talk about the products and by using subdomains as an alternative to subfolders you'll avoid any chance of all sites going down when you perform maintenance, or update one of the site scripts. Keeping the sites separated is more secure in the event of a script security breach.

Subdomains in Cloud Hosting

When you buy a cloud hosting package from our company, you will be able to create subdomains with ease using your Hepsia website hosting CP. We have decided not to restrict their amount, so in case you host only 1 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 every single one of them. During the creation of a subdomain, you'll be able to select the folder inside 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, and much more. All hosted domain addresses 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 a lot of functions for every one of them through right-click context menus - records, files, etc.
