A subdomain is the section of the web address that's before a domain name and you've almost certainly seen a lot of subdomains while browsing world wide web. For example, many sites like Wikipedia have versions in several languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org and so on. The advantage of using a subdomain is that it can have a separate site and its own records, so you are able to even host it on a different server. The practical use is that you could have a supplementary site, like an e-learning portal for college students in addition to the primary school website. If you are using subdomains as an alternative to subfolders, it will be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a particular website, not mentioning that it will be more secure to have the sites separate from one another.
Subdomains in Website Hosting
Our website hosting plans will enable you to set up countless subdomains for any domain address hosted within your account without any difficulty. If the main domain address is added, it requires two mouse clicks to create a subdomain and choose what folder it will open (if different from the default one), create custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions, set a shared IP address or a dedicated one, and much more. All subdomains are going to be conveniently listed in alphabetical order under their main domain for convenient access and control. By right-clicking on any one of them and by using fast access buttons you can view the error logs, visitor statistics or site files for that specific subdomain. We have not set a restriction for the amount of subdomains you can create with any one of our plans, so you can have as many as you wish.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting
If you buy a semi-dedicated server package, you're going to be able to create as many subdomains as you would like simply because this feature is unrestricted. For the reason that the hosting plans are very powerful, we have decided not to put any limit on the number of subdomains. Our advanced Hepsia Control Panel will enable 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 unique error pages, to create a shared or a dedicated IP address if you have one, and more. For your convenience, all subdomains are going to be listed under their root domain, so you can easily see and manage them. With quick access links, you'll be able to open the site files for any one of the subdomains that you have or view its DNS records.
