A subdomain is the part of the web address which is before a domain name and you've almost certainly seen a lot of subdomains while surfing around world wide web. For instance, many websites like Wikipedia have versions in various languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org etc. The advantage of using a subdomain is that it can have an independent site and its own records, so you can even host it on another server. The practical use is that you can have a supplementary site, like an e-learning portal for college students in addition to the main school site. If you use subdomains as opposed to subfolders, it's going to be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a particular site, not mentioning that it's going to be more secure to have the sites separate from one another.

Subdomains in Website Hosting

Every website hosting plan we provide will permit you to create hundreds of subdomains with no more than a few mouse clicks in your web hosting Control Panel. They're going to be listed in the section in which you create them and grouped under the main domain for more convenience, to help you very easily monitor all of them. In addition, you can access a lot of functions for any of the subdomains using right-click context menus - for instance, you can view or modify their DNS records, access the website files, and much more. While setting up a new subdomain, you will also have numerous options that you can pick from - determine the default access folder, create customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or select if the subdomain will use a shared or a dedicated IP address. The amount of subdomains you will have is entirely up to you because we haven't restricted this feature for any of our packages.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Our Linux semi-dedicated hosting packages do not have a restriction for the amount of subdomains which you can create. Adding a new subdomain within the account takes only a few clicks in the Hepsia web hosting CP and during the process you can pick the folder the subdomain is going to access if it will be different from the default one, create custom-made error pages, enable FrontPage Extensions if you need them or create a dedicated IP address instead of the shared server one if you have added this upgrade to your semi-dedicated account. Once the subdomain is created, you can access logs and visitor stats or you can easily jump to the site files for it within the File Manager section through fast access buttons. All subdomains that you've got inside the account are going to be conveniently listed under their root domain, so you'll be able to find and control every single one of them with ease.
