A subdomain is the section of the web address that's before a domain and you've quite possibly seen a lot of subdomains while browsing the Internet. For instance, many sites like Wikipedia have versions in various 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 website and its own records, so you're able to even host it on another server. The practical use is that you can have a supplementary website, such as an e-learning portal for students as well as the primary school site. If you use subdomains instead of 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 safe to have the websites separate from one another.

Subdomains in Hosting

Each and every hosting plan that we supply will permit you to create hundreds of subdomains with no more than a few clicks in your web hosting Control Panel. They'll 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 tabs on them all. Additionally, you can access lots of functions for any one of the subdomains through right-click context menus - for example, you can view or edit their DNS records, access the website files, and a lot more. While creating a new subdomain, you're also going to have numerous options that you can choose from - specify the default access folder, create customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or pick if the subdomain will use a shared or a dedicated IP address. The amount of subdomains you'll have is entirely up to you since we haven't restricted this feature for any one of our plans.
