A subdomain is the part of the web address that is before a domain name and you've most likely seen a lot of subdomains while browsing world wide web. For instance, many sites like Wikipedia have versions in various languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org etc. The main advantage of using 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 one could have a supplementary website, like an e-learning portal for students aside from the main school website. If you use subdomains as an alternative to subfolders, it will be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a certain website, not mentioning that it will be more secure to have the sites separate from one another.
Subdomains in Cloud Website Hosting
Each cloud website hosting package which we offer will enable you to create hundreds of subdomains with no more than a couple of clicks within your website hosting CP. They will all be listed in the section where you create them and grouped under the main domain for more convenience, so you can easily keep track of all of them. In addition, you can access a lot of functions for any of the subdomains through right-click context menus - for instance, you can view or modify their DNS records, access the site files, and more. While creating a new subdomain, you'll also have many options that you can choose from - determine the default access folder, set custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or pick if the subdomain will use a shared or a dedicated IP address. The number of subdomains you are going to have is completely up to you because we haven't limited this feature for any one of our plans.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers
You can create as many subdomains as you want with any one of our semi-dedicated servers as we haven't set an upper limit for this feature. The Hepsia hosting CP will permit you to add a new subdomain with only a few clicks and you will be able to access a number of advanced features during the process - modify the default access folder, choose the IP address the subdomain will use from the shared and dedicated ones that are provided in your account, activate FrontPage Extensions, add an SSL certificate, plus much more. Even if you create a huge amount of subdomains, you'll be able to keep track of them with ease as they will be listed in alphabetical order below their main domain. For any one of them, you can also access the site files or see logs and usage statistics through quick access buttons.
