A subdomain is the section of the web address that is before a domain and you've almost certainly seen a lot of subdomains while browsing 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 forth. The main advantage of employing a subdomain is that it can have a separate website and its own records, so you are able to even host it on a different server. The practical use is that you could have a supplementary website, such as an e-learning portal for college students on top of the main school website. If you are using subdomains rather than subfolders, it's going to be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a particular site, not mentioning that it will be more safe to have the websites separate from one another.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You are able to create as many subdomains as you wish with any of our Linux semi-dedicated hosting as we have not set a maximum limit for this feature. The Hepsia hosting CP allows you to add a new subdomain with just a few mouse clicks and you can access a number of advanced features during the process - change the default access folder, select the IP address the subdomain will use from the shared and dedicated ones that are provided in your account, activate FrontPage Extensions, add an SSL certificate, plus much more. Even if you set up a great number of subdomains, you will be able to keep track of them with ease since they will be listed in alphabetical order under their main domain. For any of them, you can even access the website files or view logs and usage stats using quick access buttons.
