A subdomain is the part of the web address which is before a domain and you have quite possibly seen a lot of subdomains while exploring the Web. As an example, many sites such as Wikipedia have versions in several languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org and so on. The best thing about 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, like an e-learning portal for students as well as the main school site. If you work with subdomains rather than subfolders, it's going to be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a certain website, not mentioning that it will be more safe to have the websites separate from each other.
Subdomains in Web Hosting
Each web hosting plan which we offer will enable you to create hundreds of subdomains with no more than a few mouse clicks in your web hosting CP. They will all be listed in the section in which you create them and grouped under the main domain for more convenience, so you can easily keep track of every one of them. Furthermore, you can access many functions for any one of the subdomains through right-click context menus - for 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 lots of options that you can pick from - specify the default access folder, set 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 100 % up to you since we haven't limited this feature for any of our packages.
