A subdomain is the part of the web address that is before a domain name and you have most likely seen a lot of subdomains while browsing the Internet. For instance, many websites such as Wikipedia have versions in various languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org and so forth. The best thing about using 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 one could have a supplementary site, such as an e-learning portal for students aside from the main school site. If you work with subdomains rather than subfolders, it'll be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a certain website, not mentioning that it'll be more safe to have the websites separate from each other.
Subdomains in Shared Hosting
Each shared hosting package we supply will enable you to create many subdomains with no more than a couple of clicks inside your website hosting CP. They will all be listed in the section in which you create them and grouped under the main domain for more convenience, so you can effortlessly keep tabs on them all. Additionally, you can access many functions for any one of the subdomains via right-click context menus - for instance, you can view or change their DNS records, access the site files, and much more. While creating a new subdomain, you're also going to have a number of options that you can choose from - specify the default access folder, create customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or select if the subdomain is going to use a shared or a dedicated IP address. The number of subdomains you will have is totally up to you since we haven't restricted this feature for any of our packages.
