A subdomain is the part of the web address that's before a domain name and you have most likely seen a lot of subdomains while surfing around the Internet. As an illustration, many websites such as Wikipedia have versions in different languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org and so on. The advantage of employing a subdomain is that it can have an independent site and its own records, so you can even host it on another server. The practical use is that one could have a supplementary website, like an e-learning portal for students in addition to 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 certain site, not mentioning that it's going to be more secure to have the sites separate from each other.

Subdomains in Shared Website Hosting

Our shared website hosting packages will allow you to create countless subdomains for every domain address hosted within your account without any hassle. Assuming that the main domain address is added, it requires two 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 much more. All subdomains will be conveniently listed in alphabetical order under their main domain for quick access and management. By right-clicking on any of them and by using quick access buttons you can see the error logs, visitor statistics or site files for that particular subdomain. We have not set a restriction for the amount of subdomains which you can create with any one of our plans, so you can have as many as you wish.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Using our semi-dedicated server plans, you will 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 few clicks to create a new subdomain and in the process you'll be able to add custom-made error pages for it, select if it will use a shared or a dedicated IP address, change the default folder that it will access or activate FrontPage Extensions. All subdomains you have inside the account are going to be grouped under their root domain from a to z and you are going to be able to see and control them without difficulty. Through fast access buttons and right-click menus you will also be able to jump to the website files inside the File Manager section or see logs, visitor statistics and other info about any of your subdomains.
