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 world wide web. For instance, many sites like Wikipedia have versions in different languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org and so on. The main advantage of using a subdomain is that it can have an independent site and its own records, so you can even host it on another server. The practical use is that you can have a supplementary site, such as an e-learning portal for college students in addition to the primary school website. If you use subdomains as an alternative to subfolders, it's going to be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a certain site, not mentioning that it will be more safe to have the websites separate from one another.

Subdomains in Website Hosting

Our website hosting plans will enable you to set up hundreds of subdomains for any domain name hosted in your account without any difficulty. Provided that the main domain name is added, it requires 2 mouse clicks to create a subdomain and select what folder it will open (if different from the default one), create unique error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions, set a shared IP address or a dedicated one, and a lot more. All subdomains will be conveniently listed in alphabetical order under their main domain for convenient access and management. By right-clicking on any of them and by using instant access buttons you can view the error logs, visitor statistics or website files for that particular subdomain. We have not set a restriction for the amount of subdomains that you can create with any of our plans, so you can have as many as you want.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers

You’ll be able to create as many subdomains as you would like with any one of our semi-dedicated servers as we have not set an upper limit for this feature. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel will permit you to add a new subdomain with only a few clicks and you will be able to access a variety of advanced features during the process - change the default access folder, pick the IP address the subdomain will use from the shared and dedicated ones which are available 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 them with ease since they are going to be listed in alphabetical order under their main domain. For any one of them, you are able to access the website files or see logs and usage stats via fast access buttons.
