A subdomain is the section of the web address which is before a domain name and you've almost certainly seen a lot of subdomains while surfing around the Web. As an illustration, many sites like Wikipedia have versions in different languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org and so on. The main advantage 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 another server. The practical use is that one could have a supplementary site, like an e-learning portal for students aside from the main school website. If you use subdomains rather than subfolders, it'll be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a specific website, not mentioning that it will be more secure to have the websites separate from each other.

Subdomains in Shared Website Hosting

Each shared website hosting package we offer will permit you to create numerous subdomains with no more than a few mouse clicks within your web hosting Control Panel. They're going to be listed in the section in which you create them and arranged under the main domain for more convenience, to help you effortlessly keep tabs on them all. Additionally, you can access a lot of functions for any one of the subdomains through right-click context menus - for instance, you can view or change their DNS records, access the site files, and much more. While creating a new subdomain, you will also have a number of options that you can select from - define the default access folder, create custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or decide if the subdomain will use a shared or a dedicated IP address. How many subdomains you are going to have is completely up to you since we haven't limited this feature for any one of our packages.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our semi-dedicated plans don't have a set limit for the number of subdomains which you can create. Adding a new subdomain inside the account takes only a few clicks in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and during the process you can pick the folder the subdomain will access if it is going to be different from the default one, create tailor-made error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions if you need them or set a dedicated IP address rather than the shared server one if you have added such an upgrade to your semi-dedicated account. Once the subdomain is created, you can access logs and visitor stats or you can quickly jump to the site files for it within the File Manager area using quick access buttons. All subdomains you have inside the account will be conveniently listed under their root domain, so you are going to be able to find and control any of them effortlessly.
