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 world wide web. For instance, many sites like 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 separate server. The practical use is that you can have a supplementary site, such as an e-learning portal for students aside from the primary school website. If you work with subdomains as an alternative to subfolders, it's going to be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a specific site, not mentioning that it'll be more safe to have the sites separate from one another.

Subdomains in Shared Website Hosting

Each shared website hosting plan which we offer will permit you to create many subdomains with no more than a couple of mouse clicks inside your website hosting Control Panel. They are going to be listed in the section where you create them and grouped under the main domain for more convenience, to help you very easily keep tabs on all of them. In addition, you can access many functions for any of the subdomains through right-click context menus - for instance, you can view or change their DNS records, access the website files, plus much more. While setting up a new subdomain, you'll also have lots of options that you can select from - define the default access folder, create unique error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or pick if the subdomain will use a shared or a dedicated IP address. The amount of subdomains you will have is 100 % up to you because we haven't restricted this feature for any of our packages.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you buy a semi-dedicated server package, you'll be able to create as many subdomains as you wish because this feature is unrestricted. Since the hosting plans are quite powerful, we've decided not to set any restriction on the amount 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'll access in the account, to activate FrontPage Extensions for it, to set up custom error pages, to create a shared or a dedicated IP address if you have one, and more. For your convenience, all subdomains will be listed under their root domain, so you can easily see and handle them. Using instant access links, you'll also have the ability to open the website files for each of the subdomains that you have or view its DNS records.
