A subdomain is the section of the web address which is before a domain name and you have most likely seen a lot of subdomains while exploring world wide web. For example, many sites such as Wikipedia have versions in several languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org and so forth. The main benefit of employing a subdomain is that it can have a separate website and its own records, so you are able to even host it on another server. The practical use is that you can have a supplementary site, like an e-learning portal for college students in addition to the primary school site. If you work with subdomains rather than subfolders, it'll be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a particular website, not mentioning that it's going to be more safe to have the websites separate from one another.
Subdomains in Shared Hosting
Each shared hosting plan which we offer will allow you to create hundreds of subdomains with no more than a few mouse clicks within your hosting CP. They will all be listed in the area in which you create them and grouped under the main domain for more convenience, so that you can effortlessly monitor all of them. In addition, you can access a lot of functions for any one of the subdomains using right-click context menus - for instance, you can view or modify their DNS records, access the site files, and much more. While creating a new subdomain, you're also going to have lots of options that you can pick from - define the default access folder, create customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or pick if the subdomain is going to use a shared or a dedicated IP address. What number of subdomains you'll have is completely up to you because we haven't limited this feature for any one of our plans.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers
Our Linux semi-dedicated plans haven't got a set limit for the number of subdomains you can create. Adding a new subdomain inside the account takes just a few clicks in the Hepsia hosting CP and throughout the process you can select the folder the subdomain will access if it is going to be different from the default one, create custom-made error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions if you need them or create a dedicated IP address rather than the shared server one if you have added such an upgrade to your semi-dedicated account. As soon as the subdomain is set up, you will be able to access logs and visitor stats or you can quickly jump to the website files for it within the File Manager area through quick access buttons. All subdomains you have inside the account will be conveniently listed under their root domain, so you'll be able to find and control any one of them easily.
