A subdomain is the section of the web address that's before a domain and you've most likely seen a lot of subdomains while browsing the Internet. For example, many sites such as Wikipedia have versions in various languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org etc. The advantage of using a subdomain is that it can have a separate site and its own records, so you are able to even host it on a different server. The practical use is that one could have a supplementary site, like an e-learning portal for college students on top of the main school site. If you use subdomains as opposed to subfolders, it will be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a certain website, not mentioning that it will be more secure to have the websites separate from each other.

Subdomains in Shared Hosting

Every single shared hosting plan we supply will allow you to create many subdomains with no more than a couple of mouse clicks within your web hosting Control Panel. They're going to be listed in the area in which you create them and grouped under the main domain for more convenience, so you can effortlessly monitor every one of them. In addition, you can access lots of functions for any one of the subdomains using right-click context menus - for instance, you can view or edit their DNS records, access the website files, and a lot more. While setting up a new subdomain, you'll also have numerous options that you can choose from - determine the default access folder, set customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or pick if the subdomain is going to use a shared or a dedicated IP address. How many subdomains you are going to have is entirely up to you because we haven't restricted this feature for any one of our packages.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting

When you purchase a semi-dedicated server package, you'll be able to create as many subdomains as you wish since this feature is unrestricted. Considering that the hosting plans are very powerful, we have decided not to set any limit on the number of subdomains. Our sophisticated Hepsia Control Panel will allow you to create a new subdomain with no more than a couple of clicks, to select which folder it is going to access within the account, to activate FrontPage Extensions for it, to set up custom error pages, to set a shared or a dedicated IP address if you have one, and more. For your convenience, all of the subdomains will be listed under their root domain, so you can easily see and manage them. Through fast access links, you'll also have the ability to open the site files for any one of the subdomains that you have or view its DNS records.
