A subdomain is the part of the web address that is before a domain name and you've almost certainly seen a lot of subdomains while exploring the Web. For example, many websites such as Wikipedia have versions a number of languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org etc. The advantage of employing a subdomain is that it can have a separate website and its own records, so you can even host it on a different server. The practical use is that you can have a supplementary site, such as an e-learning portal for students in addition to the main school website. If you use subdomains as an alternative to subfolders, it'll be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a particular site, not mentioning that it's going to be more secure to have the sites separate from each other.

Subdomains in Website Hosting

Our website hosting plans will allow you to set up hundreds of subdomains for every domain address hosted inside your account without any problem. Provided that the main domain address is added, it will take 2 clicks to set up a subdomain and pick 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, and a lot more. All subdomains will be conveniently listed in alphabetical order under their main domain for easy access and management. By right-clicking on any one of them and by using instant 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 one of our plans, so you can have as many as you want.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Our Linux semi-dedicated packages don't have a limit for the number of subdomains you can create. Adding a new subdomain inside the account takes only a few clicks inside the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and during the process you can select 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 create a dedicated IP address rather than the shared server one in case you have added this upgrade to your semi-dedicated account. After 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 area via fast access buttons. All subdomains you've got in the account are going to be conveniently listed under their root domain, so you are going to be able to find and control every single one of them easily.
