A subdomain is the part of the web address that is before a domain and you have quite possibly seen a lot of subdomains while surfing around the Web. For instance, many sites like Wikipedia have versions a number of languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org and so forth. The main advantage of using a subdomain is that it can have a separate website and its own records, so you're able to even host it on a separate server. The practical use is that you could have a supplementary site, like an e-learning portal for college students in addition to the main school website. If you are using subdomains instead of subfolders, it will be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a certain website, not mentioning that it's going to be more safe to have the websites separate from one another.

Subdomains in Web Hosting

Every single web hosting plan we provide will permit you to create many subdomains with no more than a couple of clicks within your hosting Control Panel. They will all be listed in the area where you create them and grouped under the main domain for more convenience, to help you effortlessly keep track of all of them. Additionally, you can access many functions for any one of the subdomains via right-click context menus - as an example, you can view or edit their DNS records, access the site files, and a lot more. While setting up a new subdomain, you're also going to have lots of options that you can pick from - specify the default access folder, set customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or pick if the subdomain is going to use a shared or a dedicated IP address. What number of subdomains you are going to have is entirely up to you as we have not restricted this feature for any one of our plans.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our semi-dedicated servers don't have a set limit for the amount of subdomains which you can create. Adding a new subdomain inside the account takes just a couple of mouse clicks inside the Hepsia website hosting CP and throughout the process you can select the folder the subdomain will access if it will be different from the default one, create custom-made error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions if you need them or create a dedicated IP address as opposed to the shared server one provided you have added this upgrade to your semi-dedicated account. When the subdomain is created, you will be able to access logs and visitor stats or quickly jump to the website files for it in the File Manager section by using instant access buttons. All subdomains that you've got inside the account will be conveniently listed under their root domain, so you are going to be able to find and handle any of them effortlessly.
