A subdomain is the part of the web address that's before a domain and you have probably seen a lot of subdomains while surfing around world wide web. For instance, many sites such as Wikipedia have versions in different languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org and so on. The best thing about using a subdomain is that it can have an independent site and its own records, so you're able to even host it on a different server. The practical use is that you can have a supplementary site, like an e-learning portal for students on top of the main school website. If you use subdomains instead of 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 websites separate from each other.
Subdomains in Web Hosting
Our web hosting packages will allow you to create numerous subdomains for any domain name hosted within your account without any hassle. As long as the main domain name is added, it will take 2 mouse clicks to set up 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, plus 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 of them and by using instant access buttons you can see the error logs, visitor statistics or website files for that specific subdomain. We have not set a limit for the total amount of subdomains that you can create with any of our plans, so you can have as many as you need.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers
When you get a semi-dedicated server package, you'll be able to create as many subdomains as you want simply because this feature is unlimited. For the reason that the hosting plans are rather powerful, we have decided not to set any limit on the amount of subdomains. Our sophisticated Hepsia Control Panel will permit you to create a new subdomain with no more than a few mouse clicks, to pick which folder it'll access within the account, to enable FrontPage Extensions for it, to create custom error pages, to create a shared or a dedicated IP address if you have one, and a lot more. For your convenience, all of the subdomains are going to be listed under their root domain, so that you can effortlessly see and manage them. Using fast access links, you'll have the ability to open the website files for any one of the subdomains that you have or check out its DNS records.
