A subdomain is the section of the web address that's before a domain name and you've most likely seen a lot of subdomains while browsing the Internet. For example, many websites such as Wikipedia have versions in different languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org and so on. The main benefit of employing a subdomain is that it can have an independent website and its own records, so you are able to even host it on another server. The practical use is that you could have a supplementary website, like an e-learning portal for college students aside from the main school website. If you are using subdomains as opposed to subfolders, it will be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a particular site, not mentioning that it will be more secure to have the sites separate from each other.

Subdomains in Website Hosting

Each and every website hosting plan which we offer will enable you to create hundreds of subdomains with no more than a few mouse clicks within your web hosting Control Panel. They will all be listed in the area where you create them and grouped under the main domain for more convenience, to help you easily keep track of all of them. In addition, you can access a lot of functions for any one of the subdomains via right-click context menus - as an example, you can view or modify their DNS records, access the website files, plus much more. While setting up a new subdomain, you will also have many options that you can pick from - specify the default access folder, set custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or select if the subdomain is going to use a shared or a dedicated IP address. The amount of subdomains you are going to have is entirely up to you because we have not restricted this feature for any of our plans.
