A subdomain is the part of the web address that is before a domain name and you have quite possibly seen a lot of subdomains while browsing world wide web. For example, many websites such as Wikipedia have versions a number of languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org and so forth. The advantage of using 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, such as an e-learning portal for students on top of the primary school website. If you are using subdomains as opposed to subfolders, it'll be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a specific site, not mentioning that it's going to be more safe to have the sites separate from each other.
Subdomains in Web Hosting
Every single web hosting package that we supply will allow you to create hundreds of subdomains with no more than a few mouse clicks inside your hosting Control Panel. They'll all be listed in the section where you create them and grouped under the main domain for more convenience, to help you easily monitor all of them. In addition, you can access lots of functions for any of the subdomains using right-click context menus - as an example, you can view or change their DNS records, access the website files, and more. While setting up a new subdomain, you're also going to have numerous options that you can pick from - define the default access folder, create custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or decide if the subdomain will use a shared or a dedicated IP address. How many subdomains you will have is completely up to you since we have not limited this feature for any of our plans.
