A subdomain is part of a web address that is under the main domain, for example name.example.com. From a technical perspective, even in www.example.com the "www" element is a subdomain given that the fully qualified domain name is only "example.com". Every single subdomain can have its own website and records and can even be hosted using a different provider if you want to use a specific feature which is not 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 acquire your products. You can also have a forum in which they can comment on the products and by using subdomains as opposed to subfolders you are going to avoid any risk of all websites going down when you perform maintenance, or update one of the website scripts. Keeping your websites separated is also less risky in case there is a script security breach.
Subdomains in Hosting
When you get a hosting package from our company, you're going to be able to create subdomains effortlessly via your Hepsia website hosting CP. We've decided not to limit their amount, so in case you host only one domain in the account, you're going to be able to create as many subdomains as you would like and have a different site for each one of them. During the creation of a subdomain, you are able to pick the folder inside the account that it's going to open, create customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions and error logs, select a server shared IP address or a dedicated one if you have such, and a lot more. All hosted domain addresses and the subdomains you create for them are going to be conveniently listed in alphabetical order in one place and you are going to be able to access a lot of functions for every single one of them through right-click context menus - records, files, etc.
