A subdomain is the section of the web address that's before a domain and you have probably seen a lot of subdomains while surfing around world wide web. As an example, many sites such as Wikipedia have versions a number of 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 site and its own records, so you're able to even host it on a separate server. The practical use is that you can have a supplementary website, like an e-learning portal for pupils as well as the primary school site. If you are using subdomains rather than subfolders, it's going to be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a specific site, not mentioning that it's going to be more safe to have the sites separate from one another.
Subdomains in Website Hosting
Our website hosting plans will enable you to set up many subdomains for any domain name hosted within your account without any hassle. As long as the main domain is added, it requires 2 clicks to set up a subdomain and select what folder it's going to open (if different from the default one), create custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions, set a shared IP address or a dedicated one, and a lot more. All subdomains are going to be conveniently listed in alphabetical order under their main domain for easy access and management. By right-clicking on any one of them and by using quick access buttons you can view the error logs, visitor statistics or site files for that specific subdomain. We have not set a limit for the total number of subdomains which you can create with any of our plans, so you can have as many as you need.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers
You’ll be able to create as many subdomains as you would like with any of our Linux semi-dedicated service since we haven't set an upper limit for this feature. The Hepsia website hosting Control Panel will allow you to add a new subdomain with just a few clicks and you are going to be able to access a number of advanced features during the process - modify the default access folder, select the IP address the subdomain will use from the shared and dedicated ones which are available in your account, activate FrontPage Extensions, add an SSL certificate, and a lot more. Even if you create a large number of subdomains, you will be able to keep track of all of them with ease since they will be listed in alphabetical order under their main domain. For any one of them, you can even access the web site files or see logs and usage stats using instant access buttons.
