A subdomain is the part of the web address that's before a domain name and you've most likely seen a lot of subdomains while browsing the Internet. For instance, many websites such as 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 an independent site and its own records, so you're able to even host it on a separate server. The practical use is that one could have a supplementary website, like an e-learning portal for pupils in addition to the main school website. If you are using 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 safe to have the websites separate from each other.
Subdomains in Cloud Hosting
Each and every cloud hosting plan that we offer will enable you to create hundreds of subdomains with no more than a couple of clicks inside your hosting CP. They're going to be listed in the area in which you create them and arranged under the main domain for more convenience, so you can effortlessly keep track of them all. Furthermore, you can access a lot of functions for any one of the subdomains via right-click context menus - for example, you can view or change their DNS records, access the website files, and more. While creating a new subdomain, you will also have lots of options that you can pick from - determine the default access folder, create customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or pick if the subdomain will use a shared or a dedicated IP address. The number of subdomains you will have is entirely up to you since we haven't restricted this feature for any of our plans.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers
Our Linux semi-dedicated servers haven't got a set limit for the number of subdomains which you can create. Adding a new subdomain in the account takes only a couple of clicks inside the Hepsia website hosting CP and throughout the process you can pick the folder the subdomain is going to access if it is going to be different from the default one, set up custom error pages, enable FrontPage Extensions if you need them or create a dedicated IP address as opposed to the shared server one provided you have added this upgrade to your semi-dedicated account. When the subdomain is created, you will be able to access logs and visitor stats or easily jump to the site files for it within the File Manager section by using quick access buttons. All subdomains that you have inside the account are going to be conveniently listed under their root domain, so you're going to be able to find and control any of them easily.
