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 the Internet. For example, many websites such as Wikipedia have versions in different languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org and so on. The main benefit of using a subdomain is that it can have a separate website and its own records, so you're 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 students aside from the primary school website. If you use subdomains as opposed to subfolders, it will be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a certain website, not mentioning that it'll be more secure to have the sites separate from each other.
Subdomains in Shared Web Hosting
Our shared web hosting packages will allow you to create many subdomains for any domain address hosted within your account without any difficulty. If the main domain name is added, it takes two clicks to set up a subdomain and choose what folder it's going to open (if different from the default one), set custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions, set a shared IP address or a dedicated one, and more. All subdomains will be conveniently listed in alphabetical order under their main domain for easy access and control. By right-clicking on any one of them and by using fast access buttons you can view the error logs, visitor statistics or website files for that specific subdomain. We haven't set a limit for the total amount of subdomains which you can create with any of our plans, so you can have as many as you wish.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Our Linux semi-dedicated hosting haven't got a set limit for the number of subdomains you can create. Adding a new subdomain inside the account takes only a couple of clicks in the Hepsia web hosting CP and throughout the process you can pick the folder the subdomain is going to access if it will be different from the default one, create tailor-made error pages, enable FrontPage Extensions if you need them or set a dedicated IP address as opposed to the shared server one provided you have added such an upgrade to your semi-dedicated account. Once the subdomain is set up, you can access logs and visitor stats or swiftly jump to the website files for it in the File Manager section by using fast access buttons. All subdomains you have within the account are going to be conveniently listed under their root domain, so you will be able to find and control any of them easily.
