A subdomain is the section of the web address which is before a domain name and you've most likely seen a lot of subdomains while browsing world wide web. As an illustration, many sites such as Wikipedia have versions in various languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org etc. The main benefit of using a subdomain is that it can have a separate website and its own records, so you can even host it on a different server. The practical use is that one could have a supplementary site, like an e-learning portal for pupils on top of the primary school site. If you are using subdomains as an alternative to subfolders, it's going to 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 each other.

Subdomains in Shared Web Hosting

If you get a shared web hosting plan from us, you're going to be able to create subdomains effortlessly using your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. We have decided not to restrict their amount, so in case you host just one domain in the account, you're going to be able to create as many subdomains as you wish and have a different site for every single one. During the creation of a subdomain, you'll be able to select the folder inside the account that it will open, create custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions and error logs, choose a server shared IP address or a dedicated one if you have such, and more. All hosted domain addresses and the subdomains you create for them are going to be conveniently listed in alphabetical order in one place and you'll be able to access a lot of functions for every one of them through right-click context menus - records, files, etc.
