A subdomain is the section of the web address that is before a domain name and you have most likely seen a lot of subdomains while browsing the Internet. As an example, many websites such as Wikipedia have versions a number of languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org etc. The advantage of employing a subdomain is that it can have an independent website and its own records, so you can even host it on another server. The practical use is that you can have a supplementary website, like an e-learning portal for college students aside from the main school site. If you use subdomains as an alternative to subfolders, it'll be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a specific website, not mentioning that it'll be more safe to have the sites separate from each other.

Subdomains in Shared Hosting

Our shared hosting plans will permit you to set up hundreds of subdomains for any domain address hosted in your account without any hassle. As long as the main domain is added, it will take 2 clicks to create a subdomain and choose what folder it's going to open (if different from the default one), set custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions, set a shared IP address or a dedicated one, and more. All subdomains will be conveniently listed in alphabetical order under their main domain for effortless access and administration. 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 haven't set a restriction for the amount of subdomains that you can create with any of our plans, so you can have as many as you wish.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Our Linux semi-dedicated hosting packages don't have a set limit for the amount of subdomains you can create. Adding a new subdomain inside the account takes just a couple of mouse clicks inside the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel and in the process you can pick the folder the subdomain will access if it is going to be different from the default one, set up custom-made error pages, enable FrontPage Extensions if you need them or set a dedicated IP address as opposed to the shared server one if you have added this upgrade to your semi-dedicated account. As soon as the subdomain is set up, you'll be able to access logs and visitor statistics or you can swiftly jump to the site files for it in the File Manager area via fast access buttons. All subdomains that you've got in the account will be conveniently listed under their root domain, so you will be able to find and control any one of them with ease.
