A subdomain is the part of the web address which is before a domain and you have almost certainly seen a lot of subdomains while browsing world wide web. As an illustration, many sites like Wikipedia have versions in several languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org etc. The advantage of employing a subdomain is that it can have an independent website and its own records, so you're able to even host it on a different server. The practical use is that one could have a supplementary site, such as an e-learning portal for students as well as the main school site. If you are using subdomains as opposed to subfolders, it's going to be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a certain website, not mentioning that it's going to be more safe to have the sites separate from each other.
Subdomains in Cloud Hosting
Each cloud hosting plan which we provide will enable you to create hundreds of subdomains with no more than a couple of mouse clicks within your hosting CP. They'll all be listed in the section where you create them and grouped under the main domain for more convenience, so you can very easily keep an eye on all of them. In addition, you can access a lot of functions for any of the subdomains using right-click context menus - for example, you can view or change their DNS records, access the site files, and more. While setting up a new subdomain, you'll also have many options that you can choose from - determine the default access folder, create custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or decide if the subdomain is going to use a shared or a dedicated IP address. The amount of subdomains you'll have is totally up to you because we have not limited this feature for any one of our plans.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers
Our semi-dedicated servers don't have a restriction for the amount of subdomains that you can create. Adding a new subdomain inside the account takes just a few mouse clicks within the Hepsia website hosting CP and throughout the process you can choose the folder the subdomain will access if it will be different from the default one, set up custom-made error pages, enable FrontPage Extensions if you need them or set a dedicated IP address instead of the shared server one if you have added this upgrade to your semi-dedicated account. Once the subdomain is set up, you can access logs and visitor statistics or swiftly jump to the website files for it within the File Manager section using fast access buttons. All subdomains that you've got in the account are going to be conveniently listed under their root domain, so you will be able to find and handle any one of them easily.
