A subdomain is the part of the web address which is before a domain and you have quite possibly seen a lot of subdomains while exploring the Internet. As an illustration, many sites such as Wikipedia have versions in several languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org and so on. The advantage of employing a subdomain is that it can have an independent website and its own records, so you're able to even host it on another server. The practical use is that one could have a supplementary website, like an e-learning portal for pupils as well as the primary school site. If you work with subdomains as opposed to subfolders, it will be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a specific website, not mentioning that it's going to be more secure to have the sites separate from each other.

Subdomains in Shared Hosting

Every shared hosting plan which we supply will allow you to create many subdomains with no more than a couple of clicks in your hosting CP. They'll all be listed in the section in which you create them and arranged under the main domain for more convenience, to help you effortlessly keep an eye on them all. In addition, you can access a lot of functions for any of the subdomains through right-click context menus - for example, you can view or modify their DNS records, access the website files, and more. While setting up a new subdomain, you are also going to have many options that you can select from - specify the default access folder, create unique error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or decide if the subdomain will use a shared or a dedicated IP address. What number of subdomains you will have is entirely up to you as we haven't restricted this feature for any one of our plans.
