A subdomain is the section of the web address that is before a domain and you've most likely seen a lot of subdomains while surfing around the Web. For example, many sites such as Wikipedia have versions in different languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org etc. The main benefit of using a subdomain is that it can have a separate site and its own records, so you're able to even host it on a different server. The practical use is that one could have a supplementary site, like an e-learning portal for pupils aside from the primary school website. If you work with subdomains as an alternative to subfolders, it'll be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a specific website, not mentioning that it will be more secure to have the websites separate from each other.

Subdomains in Shared Hosting

Our shared hosting packages will permit you to create numerous subdomains for every domain hosted in your account without any difficulty. Assuming that the main domain name is added, it takes 2 clicks to create a subdomain and choose what folder it's going to open (if different from the default one), set unique error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions, set a shared IP address or a dedicated one, and much more. All subdomains will be conveniently listed in alphabetical order under their main domain for convenient access and management. By right-clicking on any one of them and by using fast access buttons you can see the error logs, visitor statistics or site files for that specific subdomain. We have not set a limit for the total number of subdomains which you can create with any of our plans, so you can have as many as you wish.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting

When you get a semi-dedicated server package, you'll be able to create as many subdomains as you want as this feature is unrestricted. For the reason that the hosting plans are very powerful, we have decided not to set any limit on the number of subdomains. Our sophisticated Hepsia Control Panel will allow you to create a new subdomain with no more than a few clicks, to select which folder it will access inside the account, to enable FrontPage Extensions for it, to set up custom error pages, to set a shared or a dedicated IP address if you have one, and more. To make it easier for you, all subdomains are going to be listed under their root domain, so that you can effortlessly see and control them. Using instant access links, you will also have the ability to open the site files for any one of the subdomains that you have or see its DNS records.
