A subdomain is the section of the web address that is before a domain and you've most likely seen a lot of subdomains while surfing around the Web. As an example, many websites like Wikipedia have versions in different languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org etc. The main benefit of employing a subdomain is that it can have a separate website and its own records, so you're able to even host it on another server. The practical use is that you could have a supplementary site, such as an e-learning portal for college students in addition to the main school website. If you use subdomains instead of subfolders, it's going to be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a specific site, not mentioning that it will be more secure to have the sites separate from each other.

Subdomains in Web Hosting

Each web hosting plan which we supply will enable you to create many subdomains with no more than a couple of mouse clicks within your hosting Control Panel. They will all be listed in the section where you create them and grouped under the main domain for more convenience, so you can very easily monitor all of them. In addition, you can access many functions for any of the subdomains using right-click context menus - as an example, you can view or change their DNS records, access the website files, and much more. While creating a new subdomain, you'll also have lots of options that you can pick from - define the default access folder, set customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or choose if the subdomain is going to use a shared or a dedicated IP address. The number of subdomains you will have is completely up to you because we haven't restricted this feature for any one of our packages.

Adding a new subdomain in the account takes only a few clicks in the Hepsia website hosting CP and during the process you can select the folder the subdomain is going to access if it is going to be different from the default one, create tailor-made error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions if you need them or create a dedicated IP address instead of the shared server one if you have added such an upgrade to your semi-dedicated account. When the subdomain is created, you'll be able to access logs and visitor stats or you can quickly jump to the website files for it within the File Manager section via quick access buttons. All subdomains that you've got within the account are going to be conveniently listed under their root domain, so you are going to be able to find and manage any one of them effortlessly.
