A subdomain is the section of the web address that's before a domain and you have quite possibly seen a lot of subdomains while exploring the Internet. 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 an independent site and its own records, so you are able to even host it on a separate server. The practical use is that you could have a supplementary site, such as an e-learning portal for college students as well as the main school website. If you are using subdomains as an alternative to subfolders, it's going to be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a certain website, not mentioning that it'll be more secure to have the websites separate from one another.

Subdomains in Cloud Hosting

Every single cloud hosting package we supply will allow you to create hundreds of subdomains with no more than a couple of clicks inside your web hosting CP. They are going to be listed in the section in which you create them and arranged under the main domain for more convenience, to help you very easily keep track of all of them. Furthermore, you can access many functions for any one of the subdomains via right-click context menus - as an example, you can view or modify their DNS records, access the site files, and a lot more. While setting up a new subdomain, you'll also have a number of options that you can pick from - specify the default access folder, set custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or choose if the subdomain is going to use a shared or a dedicated IP address. How many subdomains you will have is totally up to you since we haven't limited this feature for any one of our packages.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers

When you acquire a semi-dedicated server package, you're going to be able to create as many subdomains as you wish as this feature is unrestricted. For the reason that the web hosting packages are quite powerful, we've decided not to set any limit on the number of subdomains. Our sophisticated Hepsia Control Panel will permit you to create a new subdomain with no more than a couple of mouse clicks, to pick which folder it's going to access in the account, to enable FrontPage Extensions for it, to create unique error pages, to create a shared or a dedicated IP address if you have one, and much more. For your convenience, all the subdomains will be listed under their root domain, so you can easily see and control them. Through instant access links, you'll also be able to open the website files for any one of the subdomains that you have or view its DNS records.
