A subdomain is the section of the web address that is before a domain name and you have almost certainly seen a lot of subdomains while browsing the Web. For instance, many sites such as Wikipedia have versions a number of languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org and so forth. The best thing about using a subdomain is that it can have a separate website and its own records, so you are able to even host it on a different server. The practical use is that you could have a supplementary website, such as an e-learning portal for pupils in addition to the main school website. If you are using subdomains rather than subfolders, it's going to be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a certain website, not mentioning that it'll be more secure to have the sites separate from one another.
Subdomains in Cloud Hosting
Using our cloud hosting plans you will be able to create subdomains with a couple of mouse clicks in your hosting CP. All of them are going to be listed in a single place along with the domain names hosted in the account and grouped under their own domain to help make their management easier. No matter the plan that you pick, you're going to be able to create hundreds of subdomains and set their access folder or set up custom error pages along the way. Additionally, you will have access to a lot of functions for any of them with just a mouse click, so from the very same section where you create them you can access their DNS records, files, visitor statistics, etc. As opposed to other companies, we haven't restricted the number of subdomains that you can have even if you host just one domain inside the account.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers
Our semi-dedicated hosting plans do not have a limit for the number of subdomains you can create. Adding a new subdomain in the account takes only a couple of clicks within the Hepsia web hosting CP and during the process you can select the folder the subdomain is going to access if it will be different from the default one, set up custom error pages, enable FrontPage Extensions if you need them or create a dedicated IP address as opposed to the shared server one provided you have added such an upgrade to your semi-dedicated account. As soon as the subdomain is created, you can access logs and visitor statistics or quickly jump to the site files for it inside the File Manager area using quick access buttons. All subdomains that you've got within the account will be conveniently listed under their root domain, so you'll be able to find and manage every single one of them with ease.
