A subdomain is the section of the web address that is before a domain name and you have quite possibly seen a lot of subdomains while browsing the Web. For instance, many sites like Wikipedia have versions in several languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org etc. The advantage of using a subdomain is that it can have an independent website and its own records, so you are able to even host it on a different server. The practical use is that you can have a supplementary website, like an e-learning portal for college students in addition to the primary school site. If you use subdomains as opposed to subfolders, it will be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a particular site, not mentioning that it'll be more safe to have the sites separate from one another.
Subdomains in Website Hosting
Our website hosting packages will allow you to create countless subdomains for any domain hosted within your account without any hassle. As long as the main domain is added, it takes 2 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, and a lot more. All subdomains will be conveniently listed in alphabetical order under their main domain for effortless access and control. By right-clicking on any of them and by using fast access buttons you can see 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 semi-dedicated hosting plans haven't got a limit for the amount of subdomains you can create. Adding a new subdomain inside the account takes just a few mouse clicks in the Hepsia hosting CP and throughout the process you can choose the folder the subdomain is going to access if it is going to be different from the default one, set up tailor-made error pages, enable FrontPage Extensions if you need them or create a dedicated IP address as opposed to the shared server one if 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 easily jump to the site files for it inside the File Manager area via fast access buttons. All subdomains you have inside the account will be conveniently listed under their root domain, so you'll be able to find and control any one of them effortlessly.
