A subdomain is the part of the web address that is before a domain name and you have most likely seen a lot of subdomains while exploring the Web. For example, many websites such as Wikipedia have versions in several languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org etc. The best thing about employing a subdomain is that it can have a separate site and its own records, so you can even host it on a different server. The practical use is that you can have a supplementary website, such as an e-learning portal for college students as well as the primary school site. If you work with subdomains as an alternative to subfolders, it's going to be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a certain site, not mentioning that it'll be more secure to have the sites separate from one another.

Subdomains in Website Hosting

Every website hosting package which we provide will allow you to create many subdomains with no more than a few mouse clicks within your web hosting Control Panel. They are going to be listed in the area in which you create them and grouped under the main domain for more convenience, to help you very easily keep track of every one of them. In addition, you can access a lot of functions for any of the subdomains using right-click context menus - for example, you can view or change their DNS records, access the site files, and more. While setting up a new subdomain, you are also going to have many options that you can select from - define the default access folder, create unique error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or select if the subdomain is going to use a shared or a dedicated IP address. The number of subdomains you will have is totally up to you as we haven't limited this feature for any one of our plans.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Our Linux semi-dedicated hosting packages haven't got a limit for the number of subdomains you can create. Adding a new subdomain inside the account takes only a few mouse clicks in the Hepsia web hosting CP and in 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 customized error pages, enable FrontPage Extensions if you need them or create a dedicated IP address as opposed to the shared server one in case you have added such an upgrade to your semi-dedicated account. As soon as the subdomain is created, you will be able to access logs and visitor statistics or easily jump to the website files for it in the File Manager area via quick access buttons. All subdomains you have in the account will be conveniently listed under their root domain, so you will be able to find and control any of them with ease.
