A subdomain is the section of the web address that is before a domain and you have almost certainly seen a lot of subdomains while surfing around world wide web. As an illustration, many sites such as Wikipedia have versions in several languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org and so forth. The main benefit of using a subdomain is that it can have an independent site and its own records, so you are able to even host it on a different server. The practical use is that you could have a supplementary site, like an e-learning portal for pupils as well as the primary school website. If you work with subdomains as an alternative to subfolders, it's going to be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a specific site, not mentioning that it's going to be more safe to have the sites separate from one another.
Subdomains in Shared Hosting
With our shared hosting plans you are going to be able to create subdomains with a couple of clicks in your web hosting CP. All of them will be listed in one spot together with the domains hosted in the account and grouped under their own domain to help make their administration a lot easier. Regardless of the plan that you choose, you are going to be able to create hundreds of subdomains and set their access folder or set up custom error pages in the process. You will also have access to a lot of functions for any of them with just a click, so from the exact same section in which you create them you can access their DNS records, files, visitor statistics, etc. Unlike other providers, we haven't limited the number of subdomains you can have even if you host only one domain name within the account.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers
You are able to create as many subdomains as you would like with any of our semi-dedicated servers as we haven't set an upper limit for this feature. The Hepsia web hosting Control Panel allows you to add a new subdomain with just a few clicks and you will be able to access a variety of advanced features during the process - replace 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, and more. Even if you set up a huge amount of subdomains, you're going to be able to keep track of all of them with ease since they will be listed in alphabetical order below their main domain. For any of them, you can also access the web site files or check out logs and usage statistics through fast access buttons.
