A subdomain is the section of the web address which is before a domain name and you've almost certainly seen a lot of subdomains while exploring the Web. For example, many sites like Wikipedia have versions in various languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org and so forth. The best thing about 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 could have a supplementary website, such as an e-learning portal for college students in addition to the main school site. If you use subdomains as an alternative to subfolders, it's going to be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a particular website, not mentioning that it will be more secure to have the websites separate from one another.
Subdomains in Cloud Website Hosting
Our cloud website hosting packages will enable you to set up many subdomains for any domain address hosted within your account without any problem. Assuming that the main domain is added, it will take two mouse clicks to create a subdomain and select what folder it will open (if different from the default one), create custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions, set a shared IP address or a dedicated one, plus much more. All subdomains will be conveniently listed in alphabetical order under their main domain for quick access and management. By right-clicking on any of them and by using fast access buttons you can view the error logs, visitor statistics or website files for that particular subdomain. We haven't set a restriction for the amount of subdomains you can create with any of our plans, so you can have as many as you wish.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting
You will be able to create as many subdomains as you want with any one of our Linux semi-dedicated packages since we have not set an upper limit for this feature. The Hepsia hosting CP will allow you to add a new subdomain with only a few mouse clicks and you'll be able to access a variety of advanced features during the process - replace the default access folder, pick the IP address the subdomain will use from the shared and dedicated ones that are available in your account, activate FrontPage Extensions, add an SSL certificate, and more. Even if you set up a large number of subdomains, you'll be able to keep track of all of them with ease as they are going to be listed in alphabetical order below their main domain. For any of them, you are able to access the web site files or see logs and usage statistics via instant access buttons.
