A subdomain is the section of the web address that is before a domain and you've probably seen a lot of subdomains while browsing the Internet. For example, many websites such as Wikipedia have versions a number of languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org and so forth. The advantage of using a subdomain is that it can have a separate website and its own records, so you are able to even host it on a separate server. The practical use is that one could have a supplementary site, like an e-learning portal for students aside from the primary school website. If you use subdomains as an alternative to 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 websites separate from each other.

Subdomains in Shared Website Hosting

Each and every shared website hosting plan we provide will allow you to create hundreds of subdomains with no more than a few mouse clicks within your website hosting CP. They'll all be listed in the section in which you create them and arranged under the main domain for more convenience, so you can easily keep tabs on all of them. Furthermore, you can access a lot of functions for any one of the subdomains through right-click context menus - for example, you can view or change their DNS records, access the site files, and a lot more. While creating a new subdomain, you are also going to have a number of options that you can select from - determine 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. How many subdomains you are going to have is totally up to you since we haven't limited this feature for any of our plans.
