A subdomain is the part of the web address which is before a domain and you've almost certainly seen a lot of subdomains while exploring the Internet. As an illustration, many websites such as Wikipedia have versions a number of languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org and so on. The main advantage of using a subdomain is that it can have a separate site and its own records, so you can even host it on a different server. The practical use is that you can have a supplementary site, such as an e-learning portal for college students aside from the primary school site. If you use subdomains instead of subfolders, it will be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a particular site, not mentioning that it's going to be more safe to have the sites separate from one another.

Subdomains in Cloud Hosting

When you get a cloud hosting plan through our company, you'll be able to create subdomains easily using your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. We have decided not to limit their amount, so even when you host just one domain name in the account, you'll be able to create as many subdomains as you want and have a different website for each and every one. During the creation of a subdomain, you'll be able to choose the folder in the account that it will open, set up customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions and error logs, choose a server shared IP address or a dedicated one if you have such, and more. All hosted domains and the subdomains you create for them will be conveniently listed in alphabetical order in one location and you are going to be able to gain access to many functions for every one of them through right-click context menus - records, files, etc.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our semi-dedicated service do not have a set limit for the amount of subdomains which you can create. Adding a new subdomain inside the account takes only a couple of mouse clicks inside the Hepsia web hosting CP and throughout the process you can select the folder the subdomain will access if it will be different from the default one, set up custom-made error pages, enable FrontPage Extensions if you need them or create a dedicated IP address rather than the shared server one in case you have added this upgrade to your semi-dedicated account. After the subdomain is set up, you can access logs and visitor stats or you can quickly jump to the site files for it within the File Manager area via quick 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 control every single one of them with ease.
