A subdomain is the part of the web address that's before a domain name and you have quite possibly seen a lot of subdomains while exploring the Internet. For instance, many websites like Wikipedia have versions a number of languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org and so forth. The main benefit of employing a subdomain is that it can have a separate website and its own records, so you are able to even host it on a different server. The practical use is that one could have a supplementary site, like an e-learning portal for college students in addition to 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 site, not mentioning that it's going to be more safe to have the websites separate from one another.
Subdomains in Shared Hosting
Each and every shared hosting package that we offer will enable you to create hundreds of subdomains with no more than a couple of mouse clicks within your website hosting CP. They're going to be listed in the area in which you create them and grouped under the main domain for more convenience, to help you easily monitor every one of them. Additionally, you can access a lot of functions for any of the subdomains using right-click context menus - for instance, you can view or edit their DNS records, access the site files, and more. While creating a new subdomain, you are also going to have numerous options that you can pick from - specify the default access folder, create custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or pick if the subdomain will use a shared or a dedicated IP address. The number of subdomains you will have is completely up to you since we have not limited this feature for any of our packages.
