A subdomain is the part of the web address that's before a domain name and you've probably seen a lot of subdomains while exploring world wide web. For instance, many websites like Wikipedia have versions a number of languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org and so on. The main advantage of using a subdomain is that it can have an independent website and its own records, so you're able to even host it on another server. The practical use is that one could have a supplementary site, such as an e-learning portal for students aside from the primary school site. If you work with subdomains instead of subfolders, it's going to be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a particular site, not mentioning that it will be more safe to have the sites separate from each other.

Subdomains in Shared Hosting

When you use shared hosting plans you're going to be able to create subdomains with a few mouse clicks in your website hosting Control Panel. All of them will be listed in one place together with the domains hosted in the account and grouped under their own domain to help make their management much easier. No matter the plan that you select, you'll be able to create numerous subdomains and set their access folder or create custom error pages along the way. Additionally, you'll have access to lots of functions for any of them with only 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 restricted the number of subdomains which you can have even if you host one domain address in the account.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers

You are able to create as many subdomains as you want with any one of our semi-dedicated hosting plans since we haven't set a maximum limit for this feature. The Hepsia website hosting CP will permit you to add a new subdomain with a few clicks and you are going to 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 which are provided in your account, activate FrontPage Extensions, add an SSL certificate, and more. Even if you set up a large number of subdomains, you are going to be able to keep track of them with ease since they will be listed in alphabetical order under their main domain. For any of them, you can even access the web site files or check out logs and usage statistics through instant access buttons.
