A subdomain is the part of the web address that's before a domain name and you have probably seen a lot of subdomains while browsing world wide web. For example, many sites like Wikipedia have versions a number of languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org and so forth. The main advantage of employing a subdomain is that it can have an independent site and its own records, so you're able to even host it on a separate server. The practical use is that one could have a supplementary site, like an e-learning portal for pupils on top of the main school site. If you work with 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 safe to have the websites separate from each other.

Subdomains in Shared Website Hosting

When you use shared website hosting packages you're going to be able to create subdomains with a few clicks in your web hosting Control Panel. All of them are going to be listed in one place together with the domains hosted in the account and grouped under their own domain to help make their management simpler. No matter the plan that you select, you are going to be able to create hundreds of subdomains and set their access folder or set up custom error pages along the way. Additionally, you'll have access to lots of functions for any of them with only a mouse click, so from the same section where you create them you can access their DNS records, files, visitor statistics, etc. Unlike other companies, we have not restricted the amount of subdomains which you can have even if you host only one domain in the account.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you buy a semi-dedicated server plan, you're going to be able to create as many subdomains as you'd like simply because this feature is unlimited. Considering that the website hosting plans are very powerful, we have decided not to set any restriction on the amount of subdomains. Our state-of-the-art Hepsia Control Panel will permit you to create a new subdomain with no more than a few mouse clicks, to select which folder it will access in the account, to activate FrontPage Extensions for it, to set up unique error pages, to create a shared or a dedicated IP address if you have one, and many more. To make it easier for you, all the subdomains are going to be listed under their root domain, so that you can very easily see and control them. Through instant access links, you will also have the ability to open the site files for any one of the subdomains that you have or view its DNS records.
