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 exploring the Internet. As an example, many sites such as Wikipedia have versions in various 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 website and its own records, so you can even host it on a different server. The practical use is that you could have a supplementary website, like an e-learning portal for college students aside from the primary school website. If you are using subdomains rather than subfolders, it's going to be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a certain site, not mentioning that it'll be more secure to have the websites separate from one another.
Subdomains in Shared Hosting
Our shared hosting packages will enable you to set up numerous subdomains for any domain address hosted in your account without any hassle. As long as the main domain is added, it requires two clicks to create a subdomain and select what folder it's going to open (if different from the default one), set customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions, set a shared IP address or a dedicated one, and a lot more. All subdomains will be conveniently listed in alphabetical order under their main domain for quick access and management. By right-clicking on any one of them and by using instant access buttons you can view the error logs, visitor statistics or site files for that particular subdomain. We have not set a restriction for the amount of subdomains that you can create with any one of our plans, so you can have as many as you need.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers
Our semi-dedicated hosting service haven't got a restriction for the number of subdomains that you can create. Adding a new subdomain within the account takes only a couple of clicks within the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and throughout the process you can select the folder the subdomain will access if it will be different from the default one, set up 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 this upgrade to your semi-dedicated account. After the subdomain is created, you'll be able to access logs and visitor statistics or you can quickly jump to the website files for it inside the File Manager area by using fast access buttons. All subdomains that you have inside the account will be conveniently listed under their root domain, so you'll be able to find and manage every single one of them with ease.
