A subdomain is part of a web address which is under the main domain name, for instance 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 just "example.com". Each subdomain can have its own web site and records and can also be hosted using a different provider if you need to use some feature that isn't provided by your current provider. An example for using a subdomain is if you have a business website and an online store under a subdomain where clients can purchase your products. Additionally, you can have a forum in which they can discuss the products and by employing 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 your websites separated is more secure in case there is a script security breach.
Subdomains in Cloud Hosting
When you get a cloud hosting package through us, you're going to be able to create subdomains easily through your Hepsia website hosting Control Panel. We have decided not to limit their number, so even if you host only one domain in the account, you'll 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 can select the folder in the account that it will open, create personalized 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 you create for them are going to be conveniently listed in alphabetical order in one place and you will be able to gain access to a lot of functions for every one of them through right-click context menus - records, files, etc.
