A subdomain is the part of the web address which is before a domain and you have quite possibly seen a lot of subdomains while browsing world wide web. For instance, many sites such as Wikipedia have versions in different languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org and so on. The main benefit of using a subdomain is that it can have an independent site and its own records, so you are able to even host it on a separate server. The practical use is that one could have a supplementary website, such as an e-learning portal for students in addition to the main school website. If you use subdomains as an alternative to subfolders, it's going to be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a certain site, not mentioning that it will be more safe to have the websites separate from one another.
Subdomains in Web Hosting
Through our web hosting plans you will be able to create subdomains with a couple of clicks in your website hosting Control Panel. All of them will be listed in one location along with the domain names hosted in the account and grouped under their own domain in order to make their administration easier. No matter the plan that you select, you will be able to create hundreds of subdomains and set their access folder or create custom error pages in the process. You'll have access to numerous functions for any of them with just a click, so from the same section where you create them you can access their DNS records, files, visitor statistics, etc. In contrast to other providers, we haven't 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 get a semi-dedicated server plan, you will be able to create as many subdomains as you'd like as this feature is unrestricted. Considering that the hosting packages are very powerful, we have decided not to set any restriction on the amount of subdomains. Our innovative Hepsia Control Panel will allow you to create a new subdomain with no more than a couple of mouse clicks, to pick which folder it'll access inside the account, to enable FrontPage Extensions for it, to set up unique error pages, to set a shared or a dedicated IP address if you have one, and more. For your convenience, all subdomains are going to be listed under their root domain, so you can easily see and handle them. Using quick access links, you'll also be able to open the site files for each of the subdomains that you have or view its DNS records.
