A subdomain is the section of the web address which is before a domain name and you've most likely seen a lot of subdomains while browsing the Internet. As an illustration, many sites like Wikipedia have versions in several languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org and so forth. The advantage of using a subdomain is that it can have a separate site and its own records, so you are able to even host it on a separate server. The practical use is that you could have a supplementary site, like an e-learning portal for college students on top of the main school website. If you work with subdomains as an alternative to subfolders, it'll be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a certain site, not mentioning that it will be more secure to have the websites separate from each other.

Subdomains in Cloud Web Hosting

Our cloud web hosting packages will enable you to set up hundreds of subdomains for any domain hosted within your account without any hassle. If the main domain address is added, it takes 2 clicks to set up a subdomain and choose what folder it'll open (if different from the default one), create unique error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions, set a shared IP address or a dedicated one, and much more. All subdomains will be conveniently listed in alphabetical order under their main domain for quick access and administration. By right-clicking on any one of them and by using instant access buttons you can see the error logs, visitor statistics or website files for that particular subdomain. We have not set a restriction for the total number of subdomains which you can create with any one of our plans, so you can have as many as you need.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you purchase a semi-dedicated server package, you'll be able to create as many subdomains as you'd like as this feature is unlimited. Considering that the web hosting plans are rather powerful, we've decided not to set any cap on the number of subdomains. Our innovative Hepsia Control Panel will allow you to create a new subdomain with no more than a couple of clicks, to choose which folder it will access inside the account, to activate FrontPage Extensions for it, to set up unique error pages, to set a shared or a dedicated IP address if you have one, and many more. To make it easier for you, all of the subdomains will be listed under their root domain, so you can very easily see and handle them. Through quick access links, you will also be able to open the site files for any of the subdomains that you have or view its DNS records.
