A subdomain is the section of the web address which is before a domain name and you've most likely seen a lot of subdomains while exploring the Internet. For example, many sites such as Wikipedia have versions in different languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org etc. The main advantage of employing a subdomain is that it can have an independent site and its own records, so you are able to even host it on a different server. The practical use is that one could have a supplementary website, such as an e-learning portal for students on top of the primary school site. If you work with subdomains as opposed to subfolders, it's going to be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a specific site, not mentioning that it's going to be more secure to have the sites separate from one another.

Subdomains in Web Hosting

Every single web hosting plan which we offer will allow you to create hundreds of subdomains with no more than a couple of clicks inside your website hosting CP. 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 very easily keep an eye on them all. Additionally, you can access many functions for any one of the subdomains via right-click context menus - for example, you can view or change their DNS records, access the website files, and more. While creating a new subdomain, you're also going to have numerous options that you can choose from - determine the default access folder, set customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or select if the subdomain will use a shared or a dedicated IP address. The number of subdomains you are going to have is 100 % up to you since we have not restricted this feature for any of our plans.
