A subdomain is the section of the web address that is before a domain and you've most likely seen a lot of subdomains while browsing the Internet. As an illustration, many websites such as 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're able to even host it on a separate server. The practical use is that one could have a supplementary website, such as an e-learning portal for college students aside from the main school site. If you use subdomains rather than subfolders, it's going to be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a particular site, not mentioning that it'll be more secure to have the sites separate from one another.

Subdomains in Website Hosting

Every website hosting plan that we offer will allow you to create many subdomains with no more than a couple of mouse clicks in your hosting Control Panel. They'll all be listed in the area in which you create them and arranged under the main domain for more convenience, to help you very easily keep tabs on them all. Additionally, you can access many functions for any one of the subdomains via right-click context menus - for example, you can view or edit their DNS records, access the site files, and a lot more. While setting up a new subdomain, you'll also have many options that you can select from - specify the default access folder, create customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or decide if the subdomain will use a shared or a dedicated IP address. The number of subdomains you'll have is 100 % up to you because we have not restricted this feature for any one of our packages.
