A subdomain is the section of the web address that's before a domain and you have most likely seen a lot of subdomains while browsing the Web. For instance, many websites like Wikipedia have versions in different languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org etc. The main benefit of 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 you could have a supplementary website, like an e-learning portal for students aside from the main school website. If you are using subdomains instead of subfolders, it will be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a certain website, not mentioning that it will be more secure to have the sites separate from one another.
Subdomains in Shared Hosting
Our shared hosting plans will allow you to create many subdomains for every domain hosted in your account without any difficulty. Assuming that the main domain name is added, it takes two clicks to create a subdomain and select what folder it will open (if different from the default one), create unique error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions, set a shared IP address or a dedicated one, plus much more. All subdomains are going to be conveniently listed in alphabetical order under their main domain for easy access and control. By right-clicking on any one of them and by using instant access buttons you can view the error logs, visitor statistics or website files for that particular subdomain. We have not set a limit for the total number of subdomains which you can create with any of our plans, so you can have as many as you wish.
