A subdomain is the section of the web address which is before a domain and you've quite possibly seen a lot of subdomains while surfing around world wide web. For instance, many sites such as Wikipedia have versions in different languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org and so on. The best thing about employing a subdomain is that it can have an independent website and its own records, so you are able to even host it on a separate server. The practical use is that you can have a supplementary site, such as an e-learning portal for students as well as the primary school website. If you work with subdomains as an alternative to subfolders, it'll be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a particular website, not mentioning that it'll be more secure to have the sites separate from each other.
Subdomains in Shared Website Hosting
Every single shared website hosting package we offer will allow you to create hundreds of subdomains with no more than a couple of clicks inside your hosting Control Panel. They are going to be listed in the section where you create them and grouped under the main domain for more convenience, so you can effortlessly keep tabs on every one of them. Additionally, you can access lots of functions for any of the subdomains through right-click context menus - for instance, you can view or edit their DNS records, access the website files, and much more. While setting up a new subdomain, you'll also have lots of options that you can pick from - determine the default access folder, create custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or decide if the subdomain is going to use a shared or a dedicated IP address. The amount of subdomains you'll have is entirely up to you since we haven't limited this feature for any of our packages.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting
When you get a semi-dedicated server plan, you'll be able to create as many subdomains as you want simply because this feature is unrestricted. Considering that the hosting packages are very powerful, we've decided not to put any restriction on the amount of subdomains. Our sophisticated Hepsia CP will permit you to create a new subdomain with no more than a few mouse clicks, to pick which folder it'll access in the account, to enable FrontPage Extensions for it, to create custom error pages, to set a shared or a dedicated IP address if you have one, and many 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. With instant access links, you'll also be able to open the site files for each of the subdomains that you have or check out its DNS records.
