A subdomain is the part of the web address that is before a domain and you've almost certainly seen a lot of subdomains while surfing around the Web. As an illustration, many websites like Wikipedia have versions in various 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 can even host it on a different server. The practical use is that you could have a supplementary website, such as an e-learning portal for college students in addition to the main school website. If you use 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 Hosting

Each and every hosting plan which we offer will permit you to create numerous subdomains with no more than a couple of mouse clicks inside 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 very easily keep an eye on all of them. In addition, you can access lots of functions for any of the subdomains through right-click context menus - for instance, you can view or edit their DNS records, access the website files, plus much more. While creating a new subdomain, you'll also have lots of options that you can select from - specify the default access folder, set unique 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 totally up to you as we have not restricted this feature for any of our packages.
