A subdomain is the section of the web address that is before a domain name and you've almost certainly seen a lot of subdomains while exploring the Web. For instance, many websites such as Wikipedia have versions a number of languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org and so forth. The best thing about employing a subdomain is that it can have a separate website and its own records, so you're able to even host it on a separate server. The practical use is that you could have a supplementary site, like an e-learning portal for pupils in addition to the primary school website. If you are using subdomains rather than subfolders, it's going to be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a particular site, not mentioning that it will be more secure to have the websites separate from each other.

Subdomains in Shared Website Hosting

Every shared website hosting package that we supply will permit you to create hundreds of subdomains with no more than a couple of clicks inside your website hosting CP. They are going to be listed in the area where you create them and arranged under the main domain for more convenience, to help you very easily keep an eye on them all. Additionally, you can access lots of functions for any of the subdomains using right-click context menus - as an example, you can view or edit their DNS records, access the site files, and a lot more. While creating a new subdomain, you'll also have lots of options that you can select from - determine the default access folder, set unique error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or select if the subdomain will use a shared or a dedicated IP address. How many subdomains you'll have is totally up to you because we haven't limited this feature for any one of our plans.
