A subdomain is the section of the web address that's before a domain name and you've almost certainly seen a lot of subdomains while surfing around the Web. As an example, many websites like Wikipedia have versions in several languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org etc. The best thing about using a subdomain is that it can have a separate website and its own records, so you are able to even host it on a separate server. The practical use is that one could have a supplementary website, such as an e-learning portal for college students aside from the main school website. If you work with subdomains instead of subfolders, it'll be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a particular site, not mentioning that it's going to be more safe to have the sites separate from each other.

Subdomains in Website Hosting

Each website hosting package which we supply will permit you to create numerous subdomains with no more than a few clicks in your hosting Control Panel. They're going to be listed in the area in which you create them and grouped under the main domain for more convenience, so that you can easily keep tabs on every one of them. In addition, you can access a lot of functions for any one of the subdomains through right-click context menus - for example, you can view or edit their DNS records, access the site files, plus much more. While setting up a new subdomain, you will also have numerous options that you can select from - define the default access folder, create customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or pick if the subdomain is going to use a shared or a dedicated IP address. The number of subdomains you'll have is totally up to you because we haven't limited this feature for any one of our plans.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You will be able to create as many subdomains as you would like with any of our Linux semi-dedicated packages since we have not set an upper limit for this feature.

Even if you set up a great number of subdomains, you will be able to keep track of all of them with ease as they are going to be listed in alphabetical order below their main domain. For each of them, you can also access the website files or view logs and usage statistics through fast access buttons.
