A subdomain is the part of the web address that is before a domain and you have probably seen a lot of subdomains while surfing around the Internet. As an illustration, many websites such as Wikipedia have versions a number of 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 are able to even host it on a different server. The practical use is that one could have a supplementary site, such as an e-learning portal for students as well as 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 site, not mentioning that it'll be more secure to have the sites separate from one another.

Subdomains in Shared Hosting

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

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers

Through our semi-dedicated server plans, you'll be able to create an unlimited amount of subdomains for any of the domains that you add as hosted in the account. It will take a couple of clicks to set up a new subdomain and in the process you'll be able to add custom-made error pages for it, choose if it will use a shared or a dedicated IP address, change the default folder that it's going to access or activate FrontPage Extensions. All subdomains that you have inside the account will be arranged under their root domain from a to z and you will be able to see and handle all of them without difficulty. By using fast access buttons and right-click menus you'll also be able to jump to the site files inside the File Manager section or see logs, visitor statistics and other information about any one of your subdomains.
