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

Subdomains in Shared Hosting

Each shared hosting plan we provide will enable you to create many subdomains with no more than a few clicks within your hosting CP. They're going to be listed in the area in which you create them and arranged under the main domain for more convenience, to help you easily keep an eye on them all. In addition, you can access a lot 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, and a lot more. While creating a new subdomain, you'll also have many options that you can choose from - specify 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 number of subdomains you will have is totally up to you since we have not limited this feature for any one of our packages.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you purchase a semi-dedicated server package, you are going to be able to create as many subdomains as you wish simply because this feature is unrestricted. Since the hosting plans are rather powerful, we have decided not to set any restriction 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 mouse clicks, to pick which folder it's 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 much more. To make it easier for you, all of the subdomains are going to be listed under their root domain, allowing you to very easily see and manage them. With instant access links, you'll also be able to open the website files for any one of the subdomains that you have or see its DNS records.
