A subdomain is the section of the web address which is before a domain and you've almost certainly seen a lot of subdomains while surfing around the Internet. As an example, many sites like Wikipedia have versions in different languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org and so on. The advantage 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 can have a supplementary website, such as an e-learning portal for college students in addition to the primary school website. If you use subdomains rather than subfolders, it'll be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a specific website, not mentioning that it will be more secure to have the sites separate from one another.

Subdomains in Shared Hosting

When you use shared hosting plans you are going to be able to create subdomains with just a couple of clicks in your hosting CP. All of them are going to be listed in one spot along with the domains hosted in the account and grouped under their own domain so as to make their management a lot easier. Whatever the plan that you select, you are going to be able to create hundreds of subdomains and set their access folder or create custom error pages in the process. Additionally, you'll have access to numerous 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. As opposed to other companies, we have not restricted the number of subdomains that you can have even if you host one domain name inside the account.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting

When you get a semi-dedicated server plan, you are going to be able to create as many subdomains as you'd like because this feature is unrestricted. Since the web hosting plans are quite powerful, we have decided not to set any restriction on the amount of subdomains. Our sophisticated Hepsia CP will allow you to create a new subdomain with no more than a few clicks, to pick which folder it is going to access within the account, to activate FrontPage Extensions for it, to set up unique error pages, to create a shared or a dedicated IP address if you have one, and more. For your convenience, all the subdomains are going to be listed under their root domain, so that you can very easily see and manage them. Using instant access links, you will also have the ability to open the website files for each of the subdomains that you have or see its DNS records.
