A subdomain is the part of the web address that is before a domain name and you've probably seen a lot of subdomains while surfing around the Web. For instance, many websites such as Wikipedia have versions in several languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org etc. The best thing about employing a subdomain is that it can have an independent 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, like an e-learning portal for students in addition to the main school website. If you work with subdomains as opposed to subfolders, it's going to 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 sites separate from each other.

Subdomains in Shared Hosting

When you acquire a shared hosting package from us, you'll be able to create subdomains with ease through your Hepsia hosting CP. We've decided not to limit their amount, so in case you host just one domain name in the account, you'll be able to create as many subdomains as you wish and have a different website for each and every one of them. During the creation of a subdomain, you are able to select the folder within the account that it'll open, set up customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions and error logs, select a server shared IP address or a dedicated one if you have such, and a lot more. All hosted domain names and the subdomains that you create for them will be conveniently listed in alphabetical order in one spot and you will be able to access numerous functions for each one of them through right-click context menus - records, files, etc.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our Linux semi-dedicated hosting plans don't have a set limit for the number of subdomains which you can create. Adding a new subdomain within the account takes only a couple of clicks inside the Hepsia web hosting CP and during the process you can pick the folder the subdomain will access if it is going to be different from the default one, create tailor-made error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions if you need them or set a dedicated IP address rather than the shared server one if you have added such an upgrade to your semi-dedicated account. When the subdomain is set up, you'll be able to access logs and visitor statistics or quickly jump to the website files for it inside the File Manager area through instant access buttons. All subdomains you have inside the account will be conveniently listed under their root domain, so you'll be able to find and manage any of them effortlessly.
