A subdomain is the part of the web address that's before a domain and you've probably seen a lot of subdomains while surfing around the Web. For example, many sites like Wikipedia have versions a number of languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org and so on. The advantage of employing 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 can have a supplementary site, like an e-learning portal for college students aside from the primary school website. If you are using subdomains as an alternative to subfolders, it's going to be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a particular site, not mentioning that it's going to be more secure to have the websites separate from each other.

Subdomains in Shared Hosting

Every shared hosting plan that we supply will permit you to create many subdomains with no more than a few clicks within your web hosting CP. They are going to be listed in the section in which you create them and grouped under the main domain for more convenience, to help you easily keep an eye on all of them. Additionally, you can access many functions for any of the subdomains using right-click context menus - for instance, you can view or change their DNS records, access the site files, and a lot more. While setting up a new subdomain, you're also going to have lots of options that you can pick from - define the default access folder, create custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or select if the subdomain is going to use a shared or a dedicated IP address. What number of subdomains you are going to have is completely up to you as we have not limited this feature for any one of our packages.
