A subdomain is the section of the web address that's 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 best thing about employing a subdomain is that it can have an independent website and its own records, so you can even host it on a separate server. The practical use is that you could have a supplementary website, like an e-learning portal for pupils as well as the main school site. If you use 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 will be more safe to have the websites separate from one another.

Subdomains in Shared Website Hosting

When you use shared website hosting plans you are going to be able to create subdomains with just a couple of clicks in your website hosting CP. All of them will be listed in a single place along with the domains hosted in the account and arranged under their own domain to help make their administration easier. Regardless of the plan that you select, you're going to be able to create many subdomains and set their access folder or create custom error pages during the process. You will also have access to numerous functions for any of them with only a click, so from the very same section where you create them you can access their DNS records, files, visitor statistics, etc. As opposed to other providers, we have not restricted the number of subdomains you can have even if you host only one domain address inside the account.
