A subdomain is a part of a web address which is under the main domain name, for instance name.example.com. Technically, even in www.example.com the "www" element is a subdomain given that the fully qualified domain name is only "example.com". Each subdomain can have its own site and records and can also be hosted using a different provider if you want to use a certain feature that's not provided by your current provider. One example for using a subdomain is if you have a company site and an online store under a subdomain where clients can buy your products. You can also have a forum in which they can comment on the products and by using subdomains as an alternative to subfolders you are going to avoid any chance of all websites going down if you perform maintenance, or update one of the site scripts. Keeping your sites separated is more secure in case of a script security breach.
Subdomains in Cloud Website Hosting
When you get a cloud website hosting plan through our company, you're going to be able to create subdomains effortlessly using your Hepsia website hosting CP. We've decided not to limit their amount, so in case you host just one domain name in the account, you are going to be able to create as many subdomains as you wish and have a different site for each and every one. During the creation of a subdomain, you are able to choose the folder inside the account that it'll open, set up customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions and error logs, pick a server shared IP address or a dedicated one if you have such, and a lot 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 access lots of functions for each one of them through right-click context menus - records, files, etc.
