A subdomain is the section of the web address that's before a domain name and you have most likely seen a lot of subdomains while surfing around world wide web. For instance, many websites such as 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 a separate site and its own records, so you can even host it on a separate server. The practical use is that one could have a supplementary site, like an e-learning portal for students on top of the primary school site. If you are using subdomains as an alternative to subfolders, it will be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a certain website, not mentioning that it will be more secure to have the websites separate from each other.
Subdomains in Cloud Hosting
Through our cloud hosting plans you're going to be able to create subdomains with only a few mouse clicks in your hosting Control Panel. All of them are going to be listed in one location together with the domain addresses hosted in the account and grouped under their own domain so as to make their administration a lot easier. Regardless of the plan that you pick, you'll be able to create hundreds of subdomains and set their access folder or set up custom error pages in the process. You'll have access to lots of functions for any of them with just a click, so from the very same section in which you create them you can access their DNS records, files, visitor statistics, etc. In contrast to other providers, we have not restricted the number of subdomains that you can have even if you host just one domain address inside the account.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Our Linux semi-dedicated hosting packages do not have a limit for the number of subdomains which you can create. Adding a new subdomain in the account takes only a couple of clicks in the Hepsia hosting CP and during the process you can pick the folder the subdomain will access if it is going to be different from the default one, set up custom error pages, enable FrontPage Extensions if you need them or set a dedicated IP address as opposed to the shared server one in case you have added this upgrade to your semi-dedicated account. When the subdomain is set up, you will be able to access logs and visitor stats or you can easily jump to the website files for it inside the File Manager section by using fast access buttons. All subdomains you've got in the account will be conveniently listed under their root domain, so you'll be able to find and handle any one of them easily.
