A subdomain is the section of the web address which is before a domain and you've most likely seen a lot of subdomains while browsing world wide web. For instance, many sites such as Wikipedia have versions a number of languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org etc. The best thing about using a subdomain is that it can have an independent website and its own records, so you can even host it on another server. The practical use is that you could have a supplementary site, such as an e-learning portal for college students as well as the primary school website. If you work with subdomains rather than subfolders, it will 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 Shared Web Hosting

Every single shared web hosting package that we offer will allow you to create numerous subdomains with no more than a couple of clicks inside your hosting CP. They will all be listed in the area in which you create them and grouped under the main domain for more convenience, so you can very easily keep an eye on them all. Additionally, you can access a lot of functions for any one of the subdomains through right-click context menus - for instance, you can view or edit their DNS records, access the site files, and more. While creating a new subdomain, you're also going to have numerous options that you can pick from - define the default access folder, set customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or decide if the subdomain is going to use a shared or a dedicated IP address. The number of subdomains you are going to have is entirely up to you because we have not restricted this feature for any one of our packages.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers

You can create as many subdomains as you wish with any of our semi-dedicated servers because we haven't set a maximum limit for this feature. The Hepsia hosting CP will permit you to add a new subdomain with a few clicks and you'll be able to access a number of advanced features during the process - replace the default access folder, select the IP address the subdomain will use from the shared and dedicated ones which are available in your account, activate FrontPage Extensions, add an SSL certificate, and more. Even if you set up a huge amount of subdomains, you'll be able to keep track of them with ease as they are going to be listed in alphabetical order below their main domain. For every single one of them, you are able to access the site files or check out logs and usage statistics using quick access buttons.
