A subdomain is the part of the web address which is before a domain name and you've almost certainly seen a lot of subdomains while browsing the Internet. As an example, many sites such as Wikipedia have versions in different languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org and so forth. The main advantage of employing a subdomain is that it can have an independent site and its own records, so you're able to even host it on a separate server. The practical use is that you can have a supplementary website, like an e-learning portal for students aside from the main school website. If you work with subdomains instead of subfolders, it's going to be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a specific site, not mentioning that it's going to be more safe to have the websites separate from one another.
Subdomains in Shared Hosting
Our shared hosting packages will allow you to create hundreds of subdomains for every domain address hosted within your account without any difficulty. Assuming that the main domain name is added, it requires 2 clicks to create a subdomain and choose what folder it will open (if different from the default one), set custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions, set a shared IP address or a dedicated one, plus much more. All subdomains are going to be conveniently listed in alphabetical order under their main domain for quick access and control. By right-clicking on any of them and by using fast access buttons you can see the error logs, visitor statistics or site files for that specific subdomain. We haven't set a limit for the total number of subdomains you can create with any of our plans, so you can have as many as you want.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Our Linux semi-dedicated packages don't have a set limit for the amount of subdomains you can create. Adding a new subdomain inside the account takes just a couple of clicks in the Hepsia website hosting CP and in the process you can choose the folder the subdomain will access if it is going to be different from the default one, create tailor-made error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions if you need them or create a dedicated IP address as opposed to the shared server one provided you have added this upgrade to your semi-dedicated account. After the subdomain is created, you'll be able to access logs and visitor stats or you can easily jump to the website files for it inside the File Manager section using fast access buttons. All subdomains that you have within the account are going to be conveniently listed under their root domain, so you will be able to find and control any of them with ease.
