A subdomain is the part of the web address that's before a domain name and you've probably seen a lot of subdomains while browsing the Web. As an example, many sites like Wikipedia have versions in various languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org and so forth. The main benefit of using a subdomain is that it can have a separate website and its own records, so you can even host it on another server. The practical use is that you can have a supplementary website, such as an e-learning portal for college students on top of the main school site. If you work with subdomains as opposed 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 each other.
Subdomains in Shared Hosting
With our shared hosting plans you are going to be able to create subdomains with just a couple of mouse clicks in your web hosting CP. All of them will be listed in one place together with the domain names hosted in the account and arranged under their own domain so as to make their management simpler. Whatever the plan that you select, you will be able to create many subdomains and set their access folder or create custom error pages during the process. Additionally, you'll have access to a lot of functions for any of them with only a mouse click, so from the same section where you create them you can access their DNS records, files, visitor statistics, etc. In contrast to other companies, we have not restricted the amount of subdomains you can have even if you host one domain address inside the account.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers
You are able to create as many subdomains as you wish with any one of our semi-dedicated plans because we have not set an upper limit for this feature. The Hepsia website hosting Control Panel will allow you to add a new subdomain with only a few mouse clicks and you can access a variety of advanced features during the process - modify the default access folder, select the IP address the subdomain will use from the shared and dedicated ones which are provided in your account, activate FrontPage Extensions, add an SSL certificate, and a lot more. Even if you create a great number of subdomains, you'll be able to keep track of all of them with ease because they will be listed in alphabetical order under their main domain. For any one of them, you can also access the web site files or check out logs and usage statistics via instant access buttons.
