A subdomain is the part of the web address that's before a domain name and you've quite possibly seen a lot of subdomains while exploring the Web. For instance, many websites like Wikipedia have versions in various languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org and so on. The best thing about 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 site, like an e-learning portal for college students on top of the main school site. If you are using subdomains rather than subfolders, it's going to be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a specific site, not mentioning that it will be more safe to have the websites separate from one another.
Subdomains in Cloud Web Hosting
When you use cloud web hosting packages you will be able to create subdomains with a couple of clicks in your hosting CP. All of them will be listed in one spot along with the domain addresses hosted in the account and grouped under their own domain in order to make their administration simpler. Regardless of the plan that you choose, you'll be able to create hundreds of subdomains and set their access folder or set up custom error pages in the process. Additionally, you'll have access to many functions for any of them with only a mouse click, so from the exact same section where you create them you can access their DNS records, files, visitor statistics, etc. As opposed to other companies, we have not restricted the number of subdomains that you can have even if you host only one domain address inside the account.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Our semi-dedicated hosting packages don't have a set limit for the amount of subdomains that you can create. Adding a new subdomain in the account takes only a few clicks within the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel and in the process you can pick the folder the subdomain will access if it will be different from the default one, set up customized error pages, activate 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 in the File Manager area through quick access buttons. All subdomains you have in the account are going to be conveniently listed under their root domain, so you're going to be able to find and handle every single one of them effortlessly.
