A subdomain is the section of the web address that is before a domain and you have probably seen a lot of subdomains while exploring the Web. For instance, many sites such as Wikipedia have versions in various languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org and so on. The advantage of employing a subdomain is that it can have a separate site and its own records, so you are able to even host it on a different server. The practical use is that you can have a supplementary site, such as an e-learning portal for students aside from the primary school website. If you use subdomains as opposed to subfolders, it will be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a particular website, not mentioning that it will be more secure to have the sites separate from one another.

Subdomains in Shared Web Hosting

Each and every shared web hosting package we supply will enable you to create hundreds of subdomains with no more than a few mouse clicks within your web hosting Control Panel. They are going to be listed in the area in which you create them and arranged under the main domain for more convenience, so you can effortlessly keep an eye on all of them. In addition, you can access a lot of functions for any of the subdomains via right-click context menus - for instance, you can view or change their DNS records, access the site files, and much more. While creating a new subdomain, you're also going to have a number of options that you can pick from - define the default access folder, create custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or choose if the subdomain will use a shared or a dedicated IP address. The amount of subdomains you'll have is totally up to you since we haven't restricted this feature for any one of our plans.
