A subdomain is the section of the web address that is before a domain and you have quite possibly seen a lot of subdomains while surfing around the Web. For instance, many websites like Wikipedia have versions in various languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org and so on. The main advantage of using a subdomain is that it can have a separate website and its own records, so you can even host it on a separate server. The practical use is that one could have a supplementary website, such as an e-learning portal for pupils on top of the primary school site. If you work with subdomains as an alternative to subfolders, it's going to be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a particular site, not mentioning that it will be more safe to have the websites separate from one another.

Subdomains in Shared Hosting

Every single shared hosting plan we supply will allow you to create numerous subdomains with no more than a couple of mouse clicks in your website hosting Control Panel. They will all be listed in the area in which you create them and grouped under the main domain for more convenience, so that you're able to easily keep an eye on every one of them. Furthermore, you can access lots of functions for any one of the subdomains via right-click context menus - for example, you can view or change their DNS records, access the site files, plus much more. While creating a new subdomain, you'll also have many options that you can choose from - define 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 amount of subdomains you are going to have is entirely up to you as we have not restricted this feature for any of our packages.
