A subdomain is the section of the web address which is before a domain name and you have almost certainly seen a lot of subdomains while browsing the Web. As an illustration, many websites such as Wikipedia have versions in different languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org etc. The main advantage of employing a subdomain is that it can have a separate site and its own records, so you are able to even host it on a separate server. The practical use is that you can have a supplementary website, such as an e-learning portal for students aside from the primary school site. If you use subdomains instead of subfolders, it will be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a specific website, not mentioning that it'll be more safe to have the sites separate from one another.
Subdomains in Hosting
When you use hosting plans you're going to be able to create subdomains with only a few clicks in your hosting CP. All of them will be listed in one place along with the domains hosted in the account and arranged under their own domain in order to make their administration easier. Regardless of the plan that you choose, you are going to be able to create hundreds of subdomains and set their access folder or set up custom error pages along the way. Additionally, you'll have access to a lot of functions for any of them with only a mouse click, so from the same section in which you create them you can access their DNS records, files, visitor statistics, etc. Unlike other providers, we have not limited the number of subdomains which you can have even if you host just one domain name inside the account.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting
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. For the reason that the website hosting packages are quite powerful, we've decided not to put any cap on the number of subdomains. Our state-of-the-art Hepsia Control Panel will permit you to create a new subdomain with no more than a couple of mouse clicks, to select which folder it's going to access in the account, to activate FrontPage Extensions for it, to create unique error pages, to set a shared or a dedicated IP address if you have one, and much more. To make it easier for you, all of the subdomains are going to be listed under their root domain, so you can easily see and control them. Through quick access links, you'll be able to open the site files for any one of the subdomains that you have or view its DNS records.
