A subdomain is the part of the web address which is before a domain and you've quite possibly seen a lot of subdomains while exploring world wide web. For example, many websites such as Wikipedia have versions in different languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org and so forth. The main advantage of employing a subdomain is that it can have an independent site and its own records, so you can even host it on another server. The practical use is that you could have a supplementary website, such as an e-learning portal for students on top of the primary school site. If you are using subdomains as an alternative to subfolders, it will be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a certain site, not mentioning that it's going to be more safe to have the sites separate from each other.

Subdomains in Shared Website Hosting

Every shared website hosting package which we offer will allow you to create hundreds of subdomains with no more than a couple of clicks inside your hosting Control Panel. They will all be listed in the section in which you create them and arranged under the main domain for more convenience, so that you can easily keep track of all of them. In addition, you can access lots of functions for any one of the subdomains via right-click context menus - as an example, you can view or change their DNS records, access the website files, plus much more. While setting up a new subdomain, you are also going to have many options that you can choose from - determine the default access folder, set custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or pick if the subdomain will use a shared or a dedicated IP address. How many subdomains you'll have is entirely up to you because we have not restricted this feature for any of our plans.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you buy a semi-dedicated server package, you're going to be able to create as many subdomains as you would like since this feature is unrestricted. Since the hosting plans are rather powerful, we've decided not to put any limit on the number of subdomains. Our state-of-the-art Hepsia Control Panel will enable you to create a new subdomain with no more than a few clicks, to pick which folder it'll access in the account, to enable FrontPage Extensions for it, to set up unique error pages, to set a shared or a dedicated IP address if you have one, and many more. For your convenience, all the subdomains are going to be listed under their root domain, so that you can effortlessly see and manage them. With instant access links, you'll be able to open the website files for any of the subdomains that you have or view its DNS records.
