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

Subdomains in Cloud Website Hosting

Each cloud website hosting plan we supply will enable you to create numerous subdomains with no more than a few mouse clicks within your web hosting CP. They're going to be listed in the section in which you create them and grouped under the main domain for more convenience, so that you can very easily monitor all of them. In addition, you can access a lot of functions for any one of the subdomains through right-click context menus - for instance, you can view or edit their DNS records, access the website files, and more. While creating a new subdomain, you're also going to have a number of options that you can select from - define the default access folder, set custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or decide if the subdomain is going to use a shared or a dedicated IP address. The amount of subdomains you are going to have is entirely up to you since we have not limited this feature for any of our packages.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our semi-dedicated plans haven't got a set limit for the amount of subdomains you can create. Adding a new subdomain inside the account takes just a few clicks inside the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel and during the process you can choose the folder the subdomain is going to access if it is going to be different from the default one, set up custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions if you need them or set a dedicated IP address instead of the shared server one if you have added this upgrade to your semi-dedicated account. When the subdomain is set up, you will be able to access logs and visitor statistics or easily jump to the website files for it in the File Manager area via quick access buttons. All subdomains that you have within the account are going to be conveniently listed under their root domain, so you're going to be able to find and handle any one of them easily.
