A subdomain is the section of the web address which is before a domain and you've probably seen a lot of subdomains while surfing around the Internet. As an example, many websites like Wikipedia have versions in various languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org and so forth. The main benefit of employing a subdomain is that it can have a separate site and its own records, so you are able to even host it on a separate server. The practical use is that you could have a supplementary site, such as an e-learning portal for pupils aside from the main school site. If you are using subdomains rather than subfolders, it's going to be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a particular website, not mentioning that it will be more secure to have the websites separate from one another.

Subdomains in Cloud Website Hosting

Each cloud website hosting plan that we offer will allow you to create hundreds of subdomains with no more than a few clicks inside your web hosting Control Panel. They will all be listed in the area in which you create them and arranged under the main domain for more convenience, so that you can effortlessly keep tabs on all of them. Furthermore, you can access a lot of functions for any one of the subdomains through right-click context menus - for example, you can view or change their DNS records, access the site files, and much more. While creating a new subdomain, you will also have lots of options that you can select from - define the default access folder, create custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or choose if the subdomain will use a shared or a dedicated IP address. The number of subdomains you are going to have is entirely up to you since we have not limited this feature for any of our plans.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Our semi-dedicated hosting do not have a restriction for the number of subdomains which you can create. Adding a new subdomain inside the account takes only a few mouse clicks in the Hepsia web hosting CP and during the process you can select 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 create a dedicated IP address instead of the shared server one provided you have added this upgrade to your semi-dedicated account. Once the subdomain is set up, you'll be able to access logs and visitor statistics or easily jump to the website files for it inside the File Manager section using fast access buttons. All subdomains you have inside the account are going to be conveniently listed under their root domain, so you will be able to find and manage any one of them effortlessly.
