A subdomain is the part of the web address that's before a domain name and you have quite possibly seen a lot of subdomains while browsing the Web. For instance, many sites such as Wikipedia have versions in various languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org and so forth. The main advantage of using a subdomain is that it can have an independent site and its own records, so you are 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 students in addition to the main school site. If you use subdomains as an alternative to subfolders, it'll 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 sites separate from each other.

Subdomains in Web Hosting

Our web hosting plans will permit you to create hundreds of subdomains for every domain name hosted in your account without any hassle. Assuming that the main domain name is added, it will take 2 mouse clicks to create a subdomain and select what folder it will open (if different from the default one), create customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions, set a shared IP address or a dedicated one, plus much more. All subdomains are going to 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 instant access buttons you can view the error logs, visitor statistics or website files for that specific subdomain. We haven't set a limit for the total amount of subdomains you can create with any one of our plans, so you can have as many as you want.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our Linux semi-dedicated servers haven't got a set limit for the number of subdomains which you can create. Adding a new subdomain in the account takes just a few clicks in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and during the process you can choose the folder the subdomain is going to access if it will be different from the default one, create custom-made error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions if you need them or set 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 set up, you will be able to access logs and visitor statistics or swiftly jump to the website files for it within the File Manager section by using fast access buttons. All subdomains you've got within the account are going to be conveniently listed under their root domain, so you will be able to find and handle any of them with ease.
