A subdomain is a part of a web address that is under the main domain name, such as name.example.com. Technically, even in www.example.com the "www" element is a subdomain because the fully qualified domain name is just "example.com". Every single subdomain can have its own web site and records and can also be hosted through a different provider if you need to use a certain feature that's not offered by your current service provider. One example for using a subdomain is if you have a company site and an online store under a subdomain where customers can buy your products. You can also have a forum where they can comment on the products and by using subdomains instead of subfolders you'll avoid any chance of all websites going down when you perform maintenance, or update one of the website scripts. Keeping the websites separated is also more secure in the case of a script security breach.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Our Linux semi-dedicated packages haven't got a restriction for the amount of subdomains which you can create. Adding a new subdomain in the account takes only a couple of clicks inside the Hepsia web hosting CP and throughout the process you can pick the folder the subdomain is going to access if it is going to be different from the default one, set up custom error pages, enable FrontPage Extensions if you need them or set a dedicated IP address rather than the shared server one in case you have added this upgrade to your semi-dedicated account. As soon as the subdomain is set up, you'll be able to access logs and visitor stats or you can easily jump to the site files for it inside the File Manager area using instant access buttons. All subdomains that you've got within the account will be conveniently listed under their root domain, so you will be able to find and handle any one of them with ease.
