A subdomain is the section of the web address that's before a domain and you've probably seen a lot of subdomains while surfing around the Web. As an example, many websites like Wikipedia have versions a number of languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org and so on. The best thing about using a subdomain is that it can have a separate website and its own records, so you're able to even host it on another server. The practical use is that one could have a supplementary website, such as an e-learning portal for pupils in addition to the primary school site. If you work with subdomains as opposed to subfolders, it will be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a particular website, not mentioning that it'll be more secure to have the websites separate from each other.
Subdomains in Website Hosting
Each website hosting plan which we supply will enable you to create many subdomains with no more than a few clicks in your hosting Control Panel. They are going to be listed in the section where you create them and arranged under the main domain for more convenience, so that you can very easily monitor them all. In addition, you can access many functions for any of the subdomains via right-click context menus - as an example, you can view or edit their DNS records, access the site files, and more. While setting up a new subdomain, you will also have numerous options that you can pick from - determine the default access folder, set unique error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or pick if the subdomain is going to use a shared or a dedicated IP address. How many subdomains you are going to have is completely up to you since we haven't limited this feature for any of our packages.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers
Our semi-dedicated servers do not have a limit for the amount of subdomains that you can create. Adding a new subdomain within the account takes only a few mouse clicks within the Hepsia web hosting CP 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 error pages, enable FrontPage Extensions if you need them or set a dedicated IP address instead of the shared server one provided you have added this upgrade to your semi-dedicated account. After the subdomain is created, you can access logs and visitor stats or quickly jump to the website files for it inside the File Manager section through quick access buttons. All subdomains that you have in the account will be conveniently listed under their root domain, so you'll be able to find and manage any one of them easily.
