A subdomain is the part of the web address which is before a domain and you've probably seen a lot of subdomains while browsing world wide web. For example, many sites such as Wikipedia have versions a number of languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org and so on. The main benefit of using a subdomain is that it can have an independent site and its own records, so you are able to even host it on a different server. The practical use is that you can have a supplementary website, like an e-learning portal for college students in addition to the main 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 website, not mentioning that it'll be more secure to have the sites separate from each other.

Subdomains in Shared Hosting

Each and every shared hosting package we supply will enable you to create hundreds of subdomains with no more than a couple of clicks within your website hosting Control Panel. They're going to be listed in the section where you create them and arranged under the main domain for more convenience, so that you can easily monitor all of them. In addition, you can access lots of functions for any of the subdomains using right-click context menus - for instance, you can view or modify their DNS records, access the site files, plus much more. While creating a new subdomain, you will also have lots of options that you can pick from - define the default access folder, create customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or choose if the subdomain will use a shared or a dedicated IP address. The number of subdomains you are going to have is completely up to you as we haven't restricted this feature for any one of our packages.
