A subdomain is the section of the web address that is before a domain name and you have almost certainly seen a lot of subdomains while surfing around the Internet. For instance, many sites such as Wikipedia have versions a number of languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org and so forth. The main advantage of using a subdomain is that it can have a separate site and its own records, so you can even host it on a different server. The practical use is that you could have a supplementary site, like an e-learning portal for pupils aside from the primary school website. If you work with subdomains rather than subfolders, it'll be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a specific website, not mentioning that it'll be more safe to have the websites separate from one another.
Subdomains in Cloud Hosting
When you use cloud hosting packages you will be able to create subdomains with a few mouse clicks in your hosting CP. All of them are going to be listed in a single location along with the domain addresses hosted in the account and arranged under their own domain to help make their management a lot easier. Regardless of the plan that you select, you're going to be able to create hundreds of subdomains and set their access folder or create custom error pages during the process. Additionally, you will have access to a lot of functions for any of them with just a mouse click, so from the exact same section in which you create them you can access their DNS records, files, visitor statistics, etc. As opposed to other companies, we have not restricted the amount of subdomains that you can have even if you host one domain address in the account.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting
You’re able to create as many subdomains as you want with any one of our Linux semi-dedicated hosting packages as we have not set an upper limit for this feature. The Hepsia web hosting CP will allow you to add a new subdomain with a few mouse clicks and you can access a number of advanced features during the process - change the default access folder, choose the IP address the subdomain will use from the shared and dedicated ones that are offered in your account, activate FrontPage Extensions, add an SSL certificate, and much more. Even if you create a huge amount of subdomains, you're going to be able to keep track of all of them with ease as they are going to be listed in alphabetical order below their main domain. For each of them, you are able to access the site files or see logs and usage stats using quick access buttons.
