A subdomain is the section of the web address that is before a domain and you have most likely seen a lot of subdomains while browsing the Web. As an illustration, many websites like Wikipedia have versions a number of languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org and so on. The main advantage of employing 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 pupils on top of the main school website. If you are using subdomains as an alternative to subfolders, it'll be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a specific website, not mentioning that it will be more safe to have the websites separate from one another.

Subdomains in Web Hosting

Each web hosting plan we offer will enable you to create many subdomains with no more than a few clicks inside your web hosting Control Panel. They will all be listed in the area where you create them and arranged under the main domain for more convenience, to help you very easily monitor every one of them. Additionally, you can access lots of functions for any one of the subdomains using right-click context menus - for instance, you can view or change their DNS records, access the site files, plus much more. While creating a new subdomain, you are also going to have numerous options that you can choose from - specify the default access folder, create unique error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or choose if the subdomain is going to use a shared or a dedicated IP address. The amount of subdomains you are going to have is entirely up to you as we have not restricted this feature for any of our packages.
