A subdomain is the part of the web address which is before a domain name and you've quite possibly seen a lot of subdomains while surfing around world wide web. For example, many websites such as Wikipedia have versions in various languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org etc. The main advantage of using a subdomain is that it can have an independent site and its own records, so you are able to even host it on a separate server. The practical use is that you could have a supplementary site, such as an e-learning portal for college students in addition to the main school site. If you use subdomains instead of subfolders, it's going to be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a specific website, not mentioning that it'll be more secure to have the sites separate from one another.

Subdomains in Cloud Hosting

Our cloud hosting packages will permit you to set up hundreds of subdomains for every domain hosted in your account without any hassle. If the main domain name is added, it will take 2 mouse clicks to create a subdomain and select what folder it'll open (if different from the default one), create custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions, set a shared IP address or a dedicated one, plus much more. All subdomains will be conveniently listed in alphabetical order under their main domain for easy access and control. By right-clicking on any one of them and by using instant access buttons you can see the error logs, visitor statistics or site files for that particular subdomain. We have not set a restriction for the total number of subdomains which you can create with any of our plans, so you can have as many as you need.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Our Linux semi-dedicated packages haven't got a limit for the number of subdomains that you can create. Adding a new subdomain inside the account takes only a few clicks inside the Hepsia web hosting CP and in the process you can pick the folder the subdomain is going to access if it will be different from the default one, set up tailor-made error pages, enable FrontPage Extensions if you need them or create a dedicated IP address instead of the shared server one in case you have added such an upgrade to your semi-dedicated account. As soon as the subdomain is created, you will be able to access logs and visitor statistics or swiftly jump to the site files for it inside the File Manager area using fast access buttons. All subdomains that you've got inside the account will be conveniently listed under their root domain, so you will be able to find and handle any one of them easily.
