A subdomain is the section of the web address which is before a domain and you have probably seen a lot of subdomains while surfing around the Web. For instance, many sites such as Wikipedia have versions in various languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org etc. The advantage of using a subdomain is that it can have an independent site 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, like an e-learning portal for pupils in addition to the primary school site. If you use subdomains as an alternative to subfolders, it will be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a specific website, not mentioning that it will be more safe to have the sites separate from each other.

Subdomains in Shared Hosting

Our shared hosting plans will allow you to set up many subdomains for any domain address hosted inside your account without any hassle. If the main domain is added, it requires two mouse clicks to set up a subdomain and pick what folder it's going to open (if different from the default one), set custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions, set a shared IP address or a dedicated one, and a lot more. All subdomains are going to be conveniently listed in alphabetical order under their main domain for easy access and control. By right-clicking on any one of them and by using fast access buttons you can see the error logs, visitor statistics or site files for that particular subdomain. We have not set a restriction for the total number of subdomains that you can create with any one of our plans, so you can have as many as you want.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers

You will be able to create as many subdomains as you want with any one of our semi-dedicated servers because we have not set an upper limit for this feature. The Hepsia web hosting CP allows you to add a new subdomain with a few clicks and you will be able to access a number of advanced features during the process - replace the default access folder, pick the IP address the subdomain will use from the shared and dedicated ones that are available in your account, activate FrontPage Extensions, add an SSL certificate, and more. Even if you create a huge amount of subdomains, you're going to be able to keep track of them with ease because they are going to be listed in alphabetical order under their main domain. For any of them, you can also access the site files or view logs and usage statistics through quick access buttons.
