A subdomain is the section of the web address that is before a domain and you've most likely seen a lot of subdomains while surfing around the Internet. As an example, many websites like 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 a separate website and its own records, so you are able to even host it on a separate server. The practical use is that you can have a supplementary site, like an e-learning portal for pupils aside from the main school site. If you work with subdomains instead of subfolders, it'll be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a certain website, not mentioning that it's going to be more secure to have the websites separate from each other.

Subdomains in Shared Website Hosting

Each shared website hosting package we supply will permit you to create many subdomains with no more than a couple of mouse clicks in your website hosting CP. They'll all be listed in the section in which you create them and grouped under the main domain for more convenience, to help you effortlessly keep tabs on them all. In addition, you can access a lot of functions for any one of the subdomains using right-click context menus - for example, you can view or change their DNS records, access the website files, and more. While creating a new subdomain, you will also have numerous options that you can pick from - determine the default access folder, create unique error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or choose if the subdomain is going to use a shared or a dedicated IP address. The number of subdomains you will have is completely up to you as we have not restricted this feature for any one of our packages.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers

When you purchase a semi-dedicated server plan, you'll be able to create as many subdomains as you want because this feature is unlimited. For the reason that the web hosting plans are quite powerful, we have decided not to put any cap on the number of subdomains. Our advanced Hepsia CP will permit you to create a new subdomain with no more than a few mouse clicks, to choose which folder it'll access in the account, to enable FrontPage Extensions for it, to set up unique error pages, to create a shared or a dedicated IP address if you have one, and much more. To make it easier for you, all subdomains will be listed under their root domain, so you can effortlessly see and manage them. Using quick access links, you'll be able to open the site files for any of the subdomains that you have or view its DNS records.
