A subdomain is the section of the web address that is before a domain and you've most likely seen a lot of subdomains while exploring the Internet. For example, many websites such as Wikipedia have versions in various languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org and so forth. The main 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 you could have a supplementary site, such as an e-learning portal for pupils as well as the primary school site. If you work with subdomains as an alternative to subfolders, it will be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a particular site, not mentioning that it will be more secure to have the sites separate from one another.
Subdomains in Website Hosting
Every single website hosting plan we offer will permit you to create many subdomains with no more than a couple of clicks in your web hosting CP. They're going to be listed in the section in which you create them and arranged under the main domain for more convenience, to help you very easily monitor every one of them. Furthermore, you can access many functions for any one of the subdomains through right-click context menus - for example, you can view or modify their DNS records, access the site files, and more. While setting up a new subdomain, you are also going to have many options that you can choose from - define the default access folder, set custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or decide if the subdomain is going to use a shared or a dedicated IP address. The amount of subdomains you are going to have is totally up to you because we haven't limited this feature for any one of our packages.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers
You will be able to create as many subdomains as you would like with any of our semi-dedicated servers as we have not set an upper limit for this feature. The Hepsia web hosting Control Panel allows you to add a new subdomain with just a few mouse clicks and you are going to be able to access a variety of advanced features during the process - replace the default access folder, pick the IP address the subdomain will use from the shared and dedicated ones which are provided in your account, activate FrontPage Extensions, add an SSL certificate, and much more. Even if you set up a great number of subdomains, you'll be able to keep track of all of them with ease as they are going to be listed in alphabetical order under their main domain. For any one of them, you are able to access the web site files or check out logs and usage stats via fast access buttons.
