A subdomain is the part of the web address that's before a domain name and you have probably seen a lot of subdomains while surfing around the Web. For example, many sites such as Wikipedia have versions a number of languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org and so forth. The main advantage of employing a subdomain is that it can have an independent website and its own records, so you're able to even host it on another server. The practical use is that you could have a supplementary site, such as an e-learning portal for college students on top of the main school site. If you work with subdomains rather than subfolders, it's going to be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a particular website, not mentioning that it's going to be more secure to have the sites separate from each other.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers
You’re able to create as many subdomains as you would like with any of our semi-dedicated plans because we haven't set a maximum limit for this feature. The Hepsia hosting CP allows you to add a new subdomain with just a few clicks and you are going to be able to access a variety of advanced features during the process - modify the default access folder, choose 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 huge amount of subdomains, you'll be able to keep track of them with ease as they are going to be listed in alphabetical order below their main domain. For any one of them, you are able to access the website files or see logs and usage stats via instant access buttons.
