A subdomain is the section of the web address that's before a domain and you have most likely seen a lot of subdomains while exploring the Internet. For example, many websites like Wikipedia have versions in various languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org and so on. The main advantage of using a subdomain is that it can have an independent website and its own records, so you can even host it on a separate server. The practical use is that you can have a supplementary site, like an e-learning portal for pupils on top of the primary school website. If you use subdomains as an alternative to subfolders, it'll be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a certain website, not mentioning that it'll be more safe to have the sites separate from one another.
Subdomains in Cloud Hosting
Each cloud hosting package which we offer will permit you to create hundreds of subdomains with no more than a few clicks within your website hosting CP. They are going to be listed in the section in which you create them and grouped under the main domain for more convenience, to help you easily keep track of them all. Furthermore, you can access many functions for any one of the subdomains using right-click context menus - for instance, you can view or edit their DNS records, access the website files, and a lot more. While setting up a new subdomain, you'll also have many options that you can select from - determine the default access folder, set unique error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or choose if the subdomain will use a shared or a dedicated IP address. How many subdomains you are going to have is entirely up to you since we have not limited this feature for any one of our packages.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting
When you get a semi-dedicated server package, you will be able to create as many subdomains as you'd like since this feature is unrestricted. Considering that the website hosting plans are rather powerful, we have decided not to set any limit on the number of subdomains. Our sophisticated Hepsia Control Panel will permit you to create a new subdomain with no more than a few clicks, to choose which folder it will access in the account, to activate FrontPage Extensions for it, to set up custom error pages, to create a shared or a dedicated IP address if you have one, and much more. To make it easier for you, all of the subdomains are going to be listed under their root domain, allowing you to effortlessly see and handle them. With instant access links, you will also have the ability to open the website files for any one of the subdomains that you have or check out its DNS records.
