A subdomain is the part of the web address which is before a domain and you've most likely seen a lot of subdomains while exploring the Internet. For instance, many sites such as Wikipedia have versions in different languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org and so forth. The best thing about using a subdomain is that it can have an independent website and its own records, so you're able to even host it on a separate server. The practical use is that you can have a supplementary website, like an e-learning portal for pupils aside from the primary school website. If you use subdomains as an alternative to subfolders, it'll be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a certain website, not mentioning that it's going to be more safe to have the sites separate from each other.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our Linux semi-dedicated hosting service haven't got a set limit for the number of subdomains you can create. Adding a new subdomain within the account takes just a few clicks within the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel and throughout the process you can choose the folder the subdomain will access if it is going to be different from the default one, create tailor-made error pages, enable FrontPage Extensions if you need them or set a dedicated IP address as opposed to the shared server one if you have added such an upgrade to your semi-dedicated account. When the subdomain is created, you will be able to access logs and visitor statistics or quickly jump to the website files for it in the File Manager area by using fast access buttons. All subdomains you've got inside the account will be conveniently listed under their root domain, so you're going to be able to find and handle any one of them effortlessly.
