A subdomain is the section of the web address that is before a domain and you have probably seen a lot of subdomains while surfing around world wide web. As an example, many websites like Wikipedia have versions in different languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org etc. The 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 a different server. The practical use is that you can have a supplementary website, like an e-learning portal for students in addition to the primary school site. If you are using subdomains as an alternative to subfolders, it'll be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a certain site, not mentioning that it will be more secure to have the websites separate from one another.

Subdomains in Web Hosting

Each web hosting package that we offer will permit you to create many subdomains with no more than a couple of clicks in your website hosting Control Panel. They will all be listed in the section where you create them and arranged under the main domain for more convenience, so that you can easily keep an eye on them all. Additionally, you can access many functions for any one of the subdomains using right-click context menus - for instance, you can view or edit their DNS records, access the site files, and more. While setting up a new subdomain, you are also going to have numerous options that you can pick from - determine the default access folder, create custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or decide if the subdomain will use a shared or a dedicated IP address. The number of subdomains you'll have is totally up to you since we haven't limited this feature for any of our plans.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting

When you buy a semi-dedicated server plan, you will be able to create as many subdomains as you would like as this feature is unlimited. For the reason that the hosting plans are quite powerful, we have decided not to put any limit on the number of subdomains. Our advanced Hepsia CP will allow you to create a new subdomain with no more than a couple of clicks, to select which folder it is going to access inside the account, to enable FrontPage Extensions for it, to create unique error pages, to create a shared or a dedicated IP address if you have one, and much more. To make it easier for you, all of the subdomains are going to be listed under their root domain, so you can easily see and handle them. With quick access links, you will also have the ability to open the website files for each of the subdomains that you have or view its DNS records.
