A subdomain is the section of the web address that's before a domain and you have probably seen a lot of subdomains while browsing the Web. For instance, many sites such as Wikipedia have versions in different languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org etc. The main benefit of using a subdomain is that it can have an independent site and its own records, so you're 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 on top of the main school website. If you work with subdomains rather than subfolders, it will be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a particular website, not mentioning that it'll be more secure to have the sites separate from each other.

Subdomains in Hosting

Each and every hosting plan that we provide will enable you to create many subdomains with no more than a few mouse clicks inside your hosting Control Panel. They are 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 effortlessly keep track of all of them. In addition, you can access lots of functions for any of the subdomains via right-click context menus - for example, you can view or change their DNS records, access the website files, plus much more. While creating a new subdomain, you are also going to have lots of options that you can choose from - specify the default access folder, create customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or decide if the subdomain is going to use a shared or a dedicated IP address. What number of subdomains you are going to have is 100 % up to you because we haven't limited this feature for any of our plans.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you buy a semi-dedicated server plan, you are going to be able to create as many subdomains as you wish because this feature is unrestricted. Since the website hosting plans are quite powerful, we've decided not to set any limit on the number of subdomains. Our sophisticated Hepsia Control Panel will enable you to create a new subdomain with no more than a couple of clicks, to select which folder it will access within the account, to activate FrontPage Extensions for it, to set up custom error pages, to set a shared or a dedicated IP address if you have one, and many more. For your convenience, all the subdomains will be listed under their root domain, so you can easily see and handle them. Using instant access links, you'll have the ability to open the website files for any one of the subdomains that you have or check out its DNS records.
