A subdomain is the section of the web address that's before a domain name and you have quite possibly seen a lot of subdomains while browsing the Internet. As an illustration, many sites such as Wikipedia have versions in different languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org and so forth. The main benefit of using a subdomain is that it can have an independent site and its own records, so you are able to even host it on another server. The practical use is that you could have a supplementary site, like an e-learning portal for pupils in addition to the main school site. If you use subdomains as opposed to subfolders, it's going to be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a particular site, not mentioning that it'll be more safe to have the sites separate from one another.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers

When you get a semi-dedicated server package, you are going to be able to create as many subdomains as you would like because this feature is unlimited. Considering that the web hosting plans are rather powerful, we have decided not to set any restriction on the number of subdomains. Our state-of-the-art Hepsia CP will enable you to create a new subdomain with no more than a few mouse clicks, to choose which folder it'll access in the account, to activate FrontPage Extensions for it, to set up unique error pages, to set a shared or a dedicated IP address if you have one, and much more. For your convenience, all of the subdomains are going to be listed under their root domain, so that you can easily see and handle them. Using quick access links, you'll also be able to open the site files for any one of the subdomains that you have or check out its DNS records.
