A subdomain is the part of the web address that is before a domain and you've almost certainly seen a lot of subdomains while browsing world wide web. As an example, many sites like Wikipedia have versions in several languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org and so on. The main advantage of using a subdomain is that it can have a separate site and its own records, so you are able to even host it on a separate server. The practical use is that you can have a supplementary website, like an e-learning portal for students aside from the primary school website. If you work with subdomains instead of subfolders, it'll be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a particular website, not mentioning that it will be more safe to have the websites separate from each other.
Subdomains in Hosting
Our hosting packages will permit you to create numerous subdomains for any domain hosted within your account without any difficulty. Assuming that the main domain name is added, it takes two mouse clicks to create a subdomain and pick what folder it will open (if different from the default one), create custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions, set a shared IP address or a dedicated one, plus much more. All subdomains will be conveniently listed in alphabetical order under their main domain for effortless access and management. By right-clicking on any one of them and by using instant access buttons you can see the error logs, visitor statistics or site files for that specific subdomain. We haven't set a limit for the total amount of subdomains which you can create with any of our plans, so you can have as many as you need.
