A subdomain is the part of the web address which is before a domain and you have almost certainly seen a lot of subdomains while surfing around the Web. As an example, many websites such as Wikipedia have versions in several languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org etc. The main benefit of using a subdomain is that it can have an independent website and its own records, so you are able to even host it on a separate server. The practical use is that one could have a supplementary website, like an e-learning portal for college students as well as the main school site. If you work with subdomains as opposed to subfolders, it will be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a certain website, not mentioning that it will be more secure to have the sites separate from each other.

Subdomains in Web Hosting

Each and every web hosting plan that we offer will allow you to create numerous subdomains with no more than a couple of clicks inside your website hosting Control Panel. They will 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 an eye on them all. In addition, you can access many functions for any of the subdomains using right-click context menus - as an example, you can view or modify their DNS records, access the website files, and more. While creating a new subdomain, you're also going to have many options that you can pick from - define the default access folder, set custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or decide if the subdomain is going to use a shared or a dedicated IP address. How many subdomains you are going to have is totally up to you since we haven't limited this feature for any one of our packages.
