A subdomain is the section of the web address which is before a domain and you have quite possibly seen a lot of subdomains while surfing around the Web. For example, many websites like Wikipedia have versions in different languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org and so forth. The main 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 a different server. The practical use is that you could have a supplementary website, like an e-learning portal for students in addition to the primary school website. If you are using subdomains instead of subfolders, it will be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a certain site, not mentioning that it's going to be more safe to have the sites separate from each other.

Subdomains in Shared Hosting

Every shared hosting plan that we offer will allow you to create many subdomains with no more than a couple of clicks inside your website hosting Control Panel. They will all be listed in the section where you create them and arranged under the main domain for more convenience, so you can easily monitor every one of them. In addition, you can access many functions for any one of the subdomains via right-click context menus - for example, you can view or modify their DNS records, access the site files, and a lot more. While setting up a new subdomain, you are also going to have numerous options that you can pick from - define the default access folder, create customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or decide if the subdomain is going to use a shared or a dedicated IP address. The number of subdomains you are going to have is 100 % up to you as we have not restricted this feature for any one of our plans.
