A subdomain is the part of the web address which is before a domain and you've most likely seen a lot of subdomains while browsing the Web. As an example, many sites such as Wikipedia have versions in different languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org etc. The main benefit 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 separate server. The practical use is that you can have a supplementary site, like an e-learning portal for pupils on top of the primary school site. If you use subdomains as an alternative to subfolders, it's going to be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a certain site, not mentioning that it'll be more secure to have the sites separate from each other.

Subdomains in Shared Hosting

Our shared hosting plans will permit you to create countless subdomains for every domain name hosted in your account without any difficulty. If the main domain name is added, it requires two clicks to create a subdomain and choose what folder it's going to open (if different from the default one), create unique 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 quick access and control. By right-clicking on any one of them and by using instant access buttons you can see the error logs, visitor statistics or website files for that particular subdomain. We haven't set a restriction for the amount of subdomains that you can create with any of our plans, so you can have as many as you wish.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Through our semi-dedicated server plans, you are going to be able to create an unrestricted number of subdomains for any of the domains you add as hosted in the account. It will take a couple of clicks to create a new subdomain and throughout the process you are going to be able to add tailor-made error pages for it, pick if it will use a shared or a dedicated IP, change the default folder that it'll access or activate FrontPage Extensions. All subdomains you have inside the account will be grouped under their root domain in alphabetical order and you are going to be able to see and handle all of them without difficulty. Using quick access buttons and right-click menus you'll be able to jump to the website files in the File Manager area or see logs, visitor statistics and other info about any of your subdomains.
