A subdomain is the section of the web address that is before a domain name and you've most likely seen a lot of subdomains while surfing around world wide web. For instance, many websites such as Wikipedia have versions a number of languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org etc. The best thing about using a subdomain is that it can have an independent site and its own records, so you can even host it on a separate server. The practical use is that one could have a supplementary site, such as an e-learning portal for college students on top of the primary school site. If you work with subdomains instead of subfolders, it'll be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a certain website, not mentioning that it's going to be more secure to have the websites separate from one another.

Subdomains in Hosting

If you get a hosting plan through us, you will be able to create subdomains easily using your Hepsia hosting CP. We have decided not to limit their amount, so even if you host only 1 domain name in the account, you'll 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 are able to select the folder within the account that it will open, set up custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions and error logs, pick a server shared IP address or a dedicated one if you have such, and much more. All hosted domain addresses and the subdomains you create for them are going to be conveniently listed in alphabetical order in one location and you will be able to access lots of functions for each one of them with right-click context menus - records, files, etc.
