A subdomain is the part of the web address that's before a domain and you have most likely seen a lot of subdomains while surfing around the Web. As an illustration, 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 an independent website and its own records, so you can even host it on another server. The practical use is that one could have a supplementary site, such as an e-learning portal for college students in addition to the primary school site. If you use subdomains as opposed 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 Cloud Website Hosting
Our cloud website hosting plans will permit you to set up countless subdomains for every domain hosted inside your account without any hassle. Assuming that the main domain is added, it will take 2 mouse clicks to create a subdomain and select what folder it will open (if different from the default one), create customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions, set a shared IP address or a dedicated one, plus much more. All subdomains are going to be conveniently listed in alphabetical order under their main domain for effortless access and control. By right-clicking on any of them and by using instant access buttons you can see the error logs, visitor statistics or site files for that specific subdomain. We have not set a restriction for the total number of subdomains you can create with any one of our plans, so you can have as many as you want.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting
When you buy a semi-dedicated server plan, you are going to be able to create as many subdomains as you'd like simply because this feature is unrestricted. Since the hosting packages are very powerful, we have decided not to set any cap on the number of subdomains. Our sophisticated Hepsia Control Panel will permit you to create a new subdomain with no more than a couple of clicks, to choose which folder it is going to access inside the account, to activate FrontPage Extensions for it, to create unique error pages, to set a shared or a dedicated IP address if you have one, and a lot more. To make it easier for you, all the subdomains will be listed under their root domain, so you can very easily see and control them. With fast access links, you'll also be able to open the site files for any of the subdomains that you have or see its DNS records.
