A subdomain is the section of the web address which is before a domain and you've almost certainly seen a lot of subdomains while exploring the Internet. As an illustration, many websites such as Wikipedia have versions in various languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org and so on. 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 you could have a supplementary site, like an e-learning portal for pupils in addition to the primary school site. If you are using subdomains as opposed to subfolders, it will be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a specific website, not mentioning that it will be more secure to have the websites separate from one another.
Subdomains in Shared Hosting
Every shared hosting package that we provide will permit you to create many subdomains with no more than a few clicks within your hosting CP. They'll all be listed in the section where you create them and grouped under the main domain for more convenience, so that you can easily monitor every one of them. In addition, you can access many functions for any one of the subdomains via right-click context menus - for instance, you can view or edit their DNS records, access the website files, plus much more. While setting up a new subdomain, you'll also have many options that you can pick from - define the default access folder, set custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or pick if the subdomain will use a shared or a dedicated IP address. How many subdomains you will have is 100 % up to you because we haven't restricted this feature for any of our plans.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers
You’re able to create as many subdomains as you wish with any one of our semi-dedicated service since we haven't set an upper limit for this feature. The Hepsia web hosting Control Panel will enable you to add a new subdomain with just a few clicks and you are going to be able to access a number of advanced features during the process - change the default access folder, select the IP address the subdomain will use from the shared and dedicated ones which are available in your account, activate FrontPage Extensions, add an SSL certificate, plus much more. Even if you set up a great number of subdomains, you'll be able to keep track of them with ease as they are going to be listed in alphabetical order below their main domain. For each of them, you are able to access the website files or check out logs and usage statistics via quick access buttons.
