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. For instance, many websites like Wikipedia have versions a number of languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org etc. The main benefit of using 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 one could have a supplementary site, like an e-learning portal for pupils in addition to the main school website. If you use subdomains as an alternative to subfolders, it will be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a particular site, not mentioning that it'll be more secure to have the sites separate from each other.

Subdomains in Web Hosting

When you use web hosting packages you're going to be able to create subdomains with a couple of mouse clicks in your web hosting CP. All of them will be listed in one place along with the domains hosted in the account and grouped under their own domain in order to make their management simpler. No matter the plan that you choose, you'll be able to create numerous subdomains and set their access folder or create custom error pages along the way. Additionally, you'll have access to a lot of functions for any of them with only a mouse click, so from the exact same section where you create them you can access their DNS records, files, visitor statistics, etc. As opposed to other providers, we haven't limited the number of subdomains you can have even if you host only one domain inside the account.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers

You’ll be able to create as many subdomains as you wish with any one of our semi-dedicated servers because we have not set an upper limit for this feature. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel will permit you to add a new subdomain with only a few mouse clicks and you will be able to access a variety of advanced features during the process - change the default access folder, choose the IP address the subdomain will use from the shared and dedicated ones which are offered in your account, activate FrontPage Extensions, add an SSL certificate, and much more. Even if you create a great number of subdomains, you'll be able to keep track of them with ease as they are going to be listed in alphabetical order below their main domain. For each of them, you can even access the web site files or check out logs and usage statistics via instant access buttons.
