A subdomain is the part of the web address which is before a domain name and you've most likely seen a lot of subdomains while surfing around the Internet. For example, many sites such as Wikipedia have versions in different 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 site and its own records, so you can even host it on another server. The practical use is that one could have a supplementary site, such as an e-learning portal for pupils in addition to the primary school website. If you work with subdomains rather than subfolders, it'll be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a specific site, not mentioning that it will be more safe to have the sites separate from each other.
Subdomains in Shared Web Hosting
Every shared web hosting plan which we provide will allow you to create many subdomains with no more than a few clicks inside your hosting CP. They'll all be listed in the area where you create them and grouped under the main domain for more convenience, so that you're able to easily monitor all of them. Furthermore, you can access many functions for any of the subdomains using right-click context menus - for instance, you can view or change their DNS records, access the site files, and more. While setting up a new subdomain, you'll also have lots of options that you can choose from - determine the default access folder, create unique error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or decide if the subdomain will use a shared or a dedicated IP address. What number of subdomains you are going to have is entirely up to you because we have not limited this feature for any of our packages.
