A subdomain is the part of the web address that's before a domain name and you've almost certainly seen a lot of subdomains while surfing around the Web. As an example, many sites like Wikipedia have versions a number of languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org and so forth. The advantage 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 separate server. The practical use is that you could have a supplementary website, such as an e-learning portal for college students aside from 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 certain website, not mentioning that it's going to be more secure to have the sites separate from each other.
Subdomains in Shared Hosting
Every single shared hosting plan that we offer will allow you to create numerous subdomains with no more than a couple of mouse clicks in your hosting Control Panel. They'll all be listed in the section where you create them and grouped under the main domain for more convenience, to help you effortlessly keep track of all of them. In addition, you can access many functions for any one of the subdomains through right-click context menus - as an example, you can view or modify their DNS records, access the website files, plus much more. While creating a new subdomain, you are also going to have a number of options that you can pick from - determine the default access folder, create unique error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or select if the subdomain is going to use a shared or a dedicated IP address. What number of subdomains you'll have is entirely up to you as we have not restricted this feature for any of our plans.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers
Our semi-dedicated plans do not have a restriction for the amount of subdomains that you can create. Adding a new subdomain in the account takes just a few clicks within the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel and throughout the process you can pick the folder the subdomain will access if it is going to be different from the default one, create custom error pages, enable FrontPage Extensions if you need them or create a dedicated IP address instead of the shared server one provided you have added this upgrade to your semi-dedicated account. Once the subdomain is set up, you'll be able to access logs and visitor stats or quickly jump to the site files for it within the File Manager area using quick access buttons. All subdomains you've got inside the account are going to be conveniently listed under their root domain, so you're going to be able to find and control every single one of them with ease.
