A subdomain is the part of the web address that's before a domain and you've probably seen a lot of subdomains while surfing around the Internet. As an example, many websites 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 an independent website and its own records, so you are able to even host it on another server. The practical use is that one could have a supplementary website, such as an e-learning portal for pupils on top of the main school site. If you are using subdomains rather than subfolders, it's going to be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a particular site, not mentioning that it's going to be more secure to have the sites separate from one another.
Subdomains in Web Hosting
Through our web hosting packages you will be able to create subdomains with only a couple of clicks in your website hosting Control Panel. All of them are going to be listed in a single spot along with the domain addresses hosted in the account and grouped under their own domain so as to make their managing easier. Regardless of the plan that you select, you are going to be able to create numerous subdomains and set their access folder or set up custom error pages along the way. You will also have access to a lot of functions for any of them with only a mouse click, so from the same section where you create them you can access their DNS records, files, visitor statistics, etc. Unlike other companies, we haven't limited the amount of subdomains you can have even if you host just one domain address inside the account.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers
When you buy a semi-dedicated server plan, you will be able to create as many subdomains as you wish because this feature is unrestricted. For the reason that the website hosting plans are rather powerful, we have decided not to set any restriction on the amount of subdomains. Our state-of-the-art Hepsia CP will allow you to create a new subdomain with no more than a few mouse clicks, to choose which folder it is going to access in the account, to enable FrontPage Extensions for it, to set up custom error pages, to create a shared or a dedicated IP address if you have one, and much more. For your convenience, all subdomains will be listed under their root domain, so you can easily see and control them. With fast access links, you'll have the ability to open the website files for each of the subdomains that you have or view its DNS records.
