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 surfing around world wide web. For example, many sites like Wikipedia have versions in several languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org and so forth. The main benefit of 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, like an e-learning portal for pupils on top of the primary school site. If you use subdomains as opposed to subfolders, it's going to be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a specific website, not mentioning that it'll be more safe to have the sites separate from one another.
Subdomains in Hosting
Our hosting plans will allow you to set up countless subdomains for every domain address hosted inside your account without any difficulty. If the main domain address is added, it takes 2 mouse clicks to create a subdomain and choose 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, plus much more. All subdomains will be conveniently listed in alphabetical order under their main domain for quick access and control. By right-clicking on any of them and by using fast access buttons you can view the error logs, visitor statistics or website files for that particular subdomain. We haven't set a restriction for the total amount of subdomains you can create with any one of our plans, so you can have as many as you need.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting
With our semi-dedicated server plans, you are going to be able to create an unlimited amount of subdomains for any of the domains which you add as hosted in the account. It's going to take a few mouse clicks to set up a new subdomain and in the process you are going to be able to add custom error pages for it, decide if it will use a shared or a dedicated IP address, change the default folder that it'll access or activate FrontPage Extensions. All subdomains you've got within the account are going to be arranged under their root domain in alphabetical order and you are going to be able to see and handle them without difficulty. Via quick access buttons and right-click menus you will also be able to jump to the website files within the File Manager section or view logs, visitor statistics and other information about any one of your subdomains.
