A subdomain is the part of the web address that's before a domain and you've most likely seen a lot of subdomains while exploring world wide web. For instance, many sites such as Wikipedia have versions in different languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org etc. The best thing about employing a subdomain is that it can have a separate website and its own records, so you can even host it on another server. The practical use is that one could have a supplementary website, like an e-learning portal for students in addition to the primary school site. If you are using subdomains as an alternative to subfolders, it will be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a specific site, not mentioning that it will be more safe to have the sites separate from each other.

Subdomains in Website Hosting

When you purchase a website hosting plan from us, you'll be able to create subdomains with ease through your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. We've decided not to restrict their number, so even if you host only 1 domain name in the account, you are going to be able to create as many subdomains as you wish and have a different site for each and every one. During the creation of a subdomain, you'll be able to pick the folder inside the account that it will open, set up personalized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions and error logs, choose a server shared IP address or a dedicated one if you have such, plus much more. All hosted domains and the subdomains you create for them will be conveniently listed in alphabetical order in one place and you'll be able to access a lot of functions for every one of them through right-click context menus - records, files, etc.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our semi-dedicated servers don't have a restriction for the number of subdomains you can create. Adding a new subdomain within the account takes just a few mouse clicks inside the Hepsia website hosting CP and throughout the process you can pick the folder the subdomain will access if it will be different from the default one, set up tailor-made error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions if you need them or set a dedicated IP address rather than the shared server one in case you have added such an upgrade to your semi-dedicated account. Once the subdomain is created, you'll be able to access logs and visitor stats or you can easily jump to the website files for it within the File Manager section by using quick access buttons. All subdomains that you have in the account are going to be conveniently listed under their root domain, so you are going to be able to find and control any one of them easily.
