A subdomain is the part of the web address that is before a domain name and you have almost certainly seen a lot of subdomains while exploring world wide web. For instance, many websites like Wikipedia have versions a number of languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org and so on. The advantage of using a subdomain is that it can have a separate website 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 website, like an e-learning portal for pupils in addition to the main school site. If you work with subdomains instead of subfolders, it'll be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a particular site, not mentioning that it will be more secure to have the websites separate from each other.

Subdomains in Website Hosting

Each website hosting plan we provide will permit you to create hundreds of subdomains with no more than a couple of mouse clicks in your website hosting Control Panel. They will all be listed in the section where you create them and grouped under the main domain for more convenience, so you can very easily keep track of them all. In addition, you can access a lot of functions for any one of the subdomains through right-click context menus - for instance, you can view or edit their DNS records, access the website files, plus much more. While creating a new subdomain, you'll also have lots of options that you can choose from - define the default access folder, set custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or pick if the subdomain is going to use a shared or a dedicated IP address. The amount of subdomains you'll have is completely up to you since we have not restricted this feature for any of our plans.
