A subdomain is the section of the web address that is before a domain name and you've almost certainly seen a lot of subdomains while exploring world wide web. As an example, many websites like Wikipedia have versions a number of languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org and so forth. The main benefit of employing a subdomain is that it can have an independent site and its own records, so you can even host it on a separate server. The practical use is that one could have a supplementary site, such as an e-learning portal for pupils aside from the main school site. If you use subdomains as opposed to subfolders, it'll 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 Website Hosting
Our website hosting packages will enable you to create many subdomains for any domain address hosted inside your account without any difficulty. If the main domain name is added, it takes 2 mouse clicks to set up a subdomain and select what folder it'll open (if different from the default one), set unique 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 quick access and administration. By right-clicking on any of them and by using instant access buttons you can view the error logs, visitor statistics or site files for that particular subdomain. We have not set a limit for the total amount of subdomains which you can create with any of our plans, so you can have as many as you need.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers
When you buy a semi-dedicated server plan, you'll be able to create as many subdomains as you'd like simply because this feature is unrestricted. Since the hosting packages are very powerful, we've decided not to set any cap on the number of subdomains. Our state-of-the-art Hepsia Control Panel will permit you to create a new subdomain with no more than a couple of clicks, to select which folder it will access inside 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 a lot more. To make it easier for you, all the subdomains will be listed under their root domain, allowing you to very easily see and manage them. With fast access links, you will also have the ability to open the website files for each of the subdomains that you have or check out its DNS records.
