A subdomain is the section of the web address which is before a domain name and you've quite possibly seen a lot of subdomains while exploring world wide web. For instance, many sites like Wikipedia have versions a number of languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org etc. The main benefit of employing a subdomain is that it can have a separate website and its own records, so you're able to even host it on a separate server. The practical use is that you can have a supplementary site, like an e-learning portal for pupils aside from the main school site. 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 sites separate from one another.

Subdomains in Web Hosting

Every web hosting package which we offer will enable you to create many subdomains with no more than a few mouse clicks inside your web hosting Control Panel. They'll all be listed in the section in which you create them and arranged under the main domain for more convenience, so that you're able to very easily monitor every one of them. Additionally, you can access a lot of functions for any of the subdomains via right-click context menus - as an example, you can view or edit their DNS records, access the website files, and more. While setting up a new subdomain, you are also going to have many options that you can choose from - specify the default access folder, create unique error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or choose if the subdomain is going to use a shared or a dedicated IP address. The amount of subdomains you will have is 100 % up to you as we haven't restricted this feature for any one of our plans.
