A subdomain is the section of the web address that is before a domain and you have quite possibly seen a lot of subdomains while exploring world wide web. For example, many websites like Wikipedia have versions a number of languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org and so on. The main benefit of employing a subdomain is that it can have a separate website and its own records, so you can even host it on a different server. The practical use is that you can have a supplementary site, such as an e-learning portal for pupils on top of the primary school site. If you are using subdomains rather than subfolders, it'll be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a specific website, not mentioning that it'll be more secure to have the sites separate from one another.

Subdomains in Shared Web Hosting

Our shared web hosting packages will permit you to set up hundreds of subdomains for any domain hosted inside your account without any problem. Assuming that the main domain is added, it will take two mouse clicks to create a subdomain and select what folder it'll open (if different from the default one), set customized 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 easy 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 haven't set a limit for the amount of subdomains which you can create with any of our plans, so you can have as many as you wish.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers

When you buy a semi-dedicated server plan, you'll be able to create as many subdomains as you wish as this feature is unlimited. For the reason that the hosting packages are quite powerful, we've decided not to put any limit on the number of subdomains. Our state-of-the-art Hepsia Control Panel will enable you to create a new subdomain with no more than a couple of mouse clicks, to choose which folder it's going to access in the account, to enable FrontPage Extensions for it, to create custom error pages, to set a shared or a dedicated IP address if you have one, and more. To make it easier for you, all the subdomains will be listed under their root domain, allowing you to very easily see and manage them. With quick access links, you'll also be able to open the site files for each of the subdomains that you have or see its DNS records.
