A subdomain is the part of the web address that's before a domain name and you have almost certainly seen a lot of subdomains while surfing around world wide web. For instance, many sites such as Wikipedia have versions a number of 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 website and its own records, so you can even host it on a separate server. The practical use is that you can have a supplementary website, like an e-learning portal for pupils aside from the main school site. If you use subdomains as opposed to subfolders, it'll be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a specific site, not mentioning that it'll be more secure to have the sites separate from one another.
Subdomains in Hosting
Our hosting plans will enable you to set up hundreds of subdomains for every domain address hosted in your account without any hassle. As long as the main domain address is added, it requires 2 mouse clicks to create a subdomain and pick what folder it's going to 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 easy access and administration. By right-clicking on any of them and by using quick access buttons you can see the error logs, visitor statistics or site files for that specific subdomain. We have not set a restriction for the total amount of subdomains that you can create with any one of our plans, so you can have as many as you wish.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Our Linux semi-dedicated hosting packages do not have a set limit for the number of subdomains that you can create. Adding a new subdomain within the account takes only a few mouse clicks inside the Hepsia hosting CP and in the process you can select 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, activate FrontPage Extensions if you need them or set a dedicated IP address rather than the shared server one provided you have added such an upgrade to your semi-dedicated account. After the subdomain is set up, you'll be able to access logs and visitor stats or quickly jump to the website files for it inside the File Manager section via quick access buttons. All subdomains that you have inside the account are going to be conveniently listed under their root domain, so you're going to be able to find and control every single one of them effortlessly.
