A subdomain is part of a web address that is under the main domain, for example name.example.com. Actually, even in www.example.com the "www" part is a subdomain given that the fully qualified domain name is just "example.com". Each subdomain could have its own website and records and can even be hosted using a different provider if you wish 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 and an online store under a subdomain where customers can buy your products. Additionally, you can have a forum where they can discuss the products and by using subdomains instead of subfolders you will avoid any risk of all websites going down if you perform maintenance, or update one of the website scripts. Keeping the sites separated is less risky in the event of a script security breach.
Subdomains in Cloud Web Hosting
If you acquire a cloud web hosting package through us, you're going to be able to create subdomains with ease using your Hepsia hosting CP. We've decided not to restrict their amount, so in case you host only 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 every one of them. During the creation of a subdomain, you can select the folder inside the account that it will open, set up custom 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 domain addresses and the subdomains that you create for them will be conveniently listed in alphabetical order in one place 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.
