A subdomain is the section of the web address that is before a domain and you have almost certainly seen a lot of subdomains while surfing around the Internet. As an example, many sites like Wikipedia have versions in several languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org etc. The main benefit of using a subdomain is that it can have an independent website 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 site, such as an e-learning portal for students aside from the main school site. If you use subdomains rather than subfolders, it's going to 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 each other.
Subdomains in Web Hosting
If you get a web hosting package from us, you're going to be able to create subdomains effortlessly using your Hepsia hosting CP. We've decided not to limit their amount, so even when you host only one domain name in the account, you are going to be able to create as many subdomains as you wish and have a different site for every single one of them. During the creation of a subdomain, you can pick the folder inside the account that it will open, create personalized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions and error logs, choose a server shared IP address or a dedicated one if you have such, plus much more. All hosted domains and the subdomains you create for them will be conveniently listed in alphabetical order in one spot and you'll be able to gain access to numerous functions for each one of them with right-click context menus - records, files, etc.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers
When you buy a semi-dedicated server package, you are going to be able to create as many subdomains as you'd like simply because this feature is unrestricted. Considering that the website hosting plans are rather powerful, we've decided not to set any limit on the number of subdomains. Our state-of-the-art Hepsia CP will enable you to create a new subdomain with no more than a few mouse clicks, to pick which folder it'll access inside the account, to enable FrontPage Extensions for it, to set up unique error pages, to set a shared or a dedicated IP address if you have one, and more. To make it easier for you, all subdomains will be listed under their root domain, so that you can very easily see and control them. Using fast access links, you'll also have the ability to open the website files for any one of the subdomains that you have or view its DNS records.
