A subdomain is the part of the web address which is before a domain name and you've quite possibly seen a lot of subdomains while exploring the Internet. As an example, many sites such as Wikipedia have versions in various languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org etc. The best thing about using a subdomain is that it can have an independent website 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, such as an e-learning portal for pupils in addition to the primary school website. If you use subdomains rather than subfolders, it's going to be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a specific site, not mentioning that it will be more secure to have the websites separate from one another.

Subdomains in Shared Web Hosting

If you purchase a shared web hosting package through us, you'll be able to create subdomains effortlessly using your Hepsia hosting CP. We've decided not to limit their amount, so in case you host only 1 domain address in the account, you will be able to create as many subdomains as you would like and have a different site for each one. During the creation of a subdomain, you can choose the folder within the account that it'll open, set up custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions and error logs, pick a server shared IP address or a dedicated one if you have such, and a lot more. All hosted domains and the subdomains you create for them are going to be conveniently listed in alphabetical order in one location and you will be able to gain access to a lot of functions for every one of them through right-click context menus - records, files, etc.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our Linux semi-dedicated plans don't have a limit for the amount of subdomains you can create. Adding a new subdomain in the account takes just a few clicks inside the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and in the process you can pick the folder the subdomain is going to 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 as opposed to the shared server one in case you have added this upgrade to your semi-dedicated account. After the subdomain is created, you will be able to access logs and visitor stats or quickly jump to the site files for it inside the File Manager section through instant access buttons. All subdomains that you have within the account are going to be conveniently listed under their root domain, so you are going to be able to find and handle every single one of them easily.
