A subdomain is the section of the web address that's before a domain name and you have almost certainly seen a lot of subdomains while exploring the Web. For example, many sites such as Wikipedia have versions in various languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org and so on. The advantage of using a subdomain is that it can have an independent site and its own records, so you're able to even host it on another server. The practical use is that one could have a supplementary website, such as an e-learning portal for students aside from the main school site. If you use subdomains as opposed to subfolders, it'll be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a specific website, not mentioning that it's going to be more secure to have the websites separate from one another.

Subdomains in Web Hosting

If you get a web hosting package from our company, you're going to be able to create subdomains with ease through your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. We've decided not to limit their amount, so even if you host only one domain address in the account, you will be able to create as many subdomains as you wish and have a different website for every single one of them. During the creation of a subdomain, you are able to choose the folder within the account that it's going to open, create custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions and error logs, select a server shared IP address or a dedicated one if you have such, plus much more. All hosted domain addresses and the subdomains that you create for them will be conveniently listed in alphabetical order in one spot and you are going to be able to gain access to numerous functions for each one of them with right-click context menus - records, files, etc.
