A subdomain is the part of the web address that is before a domain and you've probably seen a lot of subdomains while browsing the Internet. As an example, many websites like Wikipedia have versions in various 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 another server. The practical use is that you can have a supplementary website, such as an e-learning portal for students aside from the primary school website. If you work with subdomains as opposed to subfolders, it will be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a certain site, not mentioning that it's going to be more safe to have the websites separate from one another.

Subdomains in Shared Web Hosting

Each shared web hosting package which we provide will enable you to create many subdomains with no more than a few clicks inside your hosting CP. They are going to be listed in the area where you create them and arranged under the main domain for more convenience, so that you can easily keep track of them all. In addition, you can access many functions for any one of the subdomains through right-click context menus - for example, 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 many options that you can select from - specify the default access folder, create custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or select if the subdomain will use a shared or a dedicated IP address. The number of subdomains you are going to have is entirely up to you since we have not restricted this feature for any one of our packages.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers

You’re able to create as many subdomains as you want with any of our semi-dedicated servers as we haven't set a maximum limit for this feature. The Hepsia web hosting CP allows you to add a new subdomain with only a few clicks and you'll be able to access a variety of advanced features during the process - change the default access folder, select the IP address the subdomain will use from the shared and dedicated ones that are offered in your account, activate FrontPage Extensions, add an SSL certificate, and a lot more. Even if you create a large number of subdomains, you'll be able to keep track of all of them with ease since they will be listed in alphabetical order under their main domain. For any of them, you can also access the site files or check out logs and usage statistics through quick access buttons.
