A subdomain is the part of the web address that is before a domain and you've most likely seen a lot of subdomains while browsing the Internet. For example, many websites such as Wikipedia have versions a number of languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org etc. The main benefit 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 site, such as an e-learning portal for college students as well as the main school website. If you are using subdomains instead of subfolders, it will be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a particular site, not mentioning that it's going to be more secure to have the websites separate from each other.

Subdomains in Shared Web Hosting

Each and every shared web hosting plan which we provide will enable you to create numerous subdomains with no more than a couple of clicks within your website hosting CP. They'll all be listed in the area where you create them and grouped under the main domain for more convenience, to help you easily keep an eye on them all. Additionally, you can access a lot of functions for any one of the subdomains via right-click context menus - for instance, you can view or edit their DNS records, access the website files, and much more. While creating a new subdomain, you'll also have a number of options that you can choose from - define the default access folder, set custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or choose if the subdomain will use a shared or a dedicated IP address. The number of subdomains you'll have is entirely up to you because we have not restricted this feature for any one of our plans.
