A subdomain is the part of the web address that's before a domain name and you've probably seen a lot of subdomains while browsing the Internet. For example, many websites like Wikipedia have versions in different languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org etc. The main advantage of using a subdomain is that it can have an independent website and its own records, so you are able to even host it on a different server. The practical use is that you could have a supplementary website, like an e-learning portal for pupils on top of the main school website. If you use subdomains as opposed to subfolders, it will be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a certain website, not mentioning that it's going to be more safe to have the websites separate from each other.
Subdomains in Cloud Hosting
If you acquire a cloud hosting plan from our company, you are going to be able to create subdomains easily via your Hepsia hosting CP. We've decided not to restrict their amount, so in case you host only 1 domain name in the account, you're going to be able to create as many subdomains as you want and have a different website for each one. During the creation of a subdomain, you can select 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 domain addresses and the subdomains that you create for them are going to be conveniently listed in alphabetical order in one location and you'll be able to access numerous functions for every single one of them with right-click context menus - records, files, etc.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers
Our semi-dedicated hosting plans haven't got a restriction for the amount of subdomains you can create. Adding a new subdomain within the account takes just a few clicks within the Hepsia hosting CP and in the process you can choose the folder the subdomain is going to access if it will be different from the default one, create customized error pages, enable FrontPage Extensions if you need them or create a dedicated IP address as opposed to the shared server one provided you have added this upgrade to your semi-dedicated account. As soon as the subdomain is created, you'll be able to access logs and visitor statistics or swiftly jump to the site files for it inside the File Manager area through instant access buttons. All subdomains you have inside the account will be conveniently listed under their root domain, so you are going to be able to find and manage any one of them effortlessly.
