A subdomain is the section of the web address that's before a domain name and you've quite possibly seen a lot of subdomains while surfing around world wide web. For example, many sites like Wikipedia have versions in several languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org etc. The advantage of using a subdomain is that it can have a separate site and its own records, so you can even host it on a separate server. The practical use is that one could have a supplementary website, like an e-learning portal for students aside from the main school site. If you use subdomains as opposed to subfolders, it'll be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a particular site, not mentioning that it's going to be more secure to have the websites separate from each other.

Subdomains in Shared Web Hosting

Our shared web hosting packages will permit you to create countless subdomains for every domain name hosted in your account without any difficulty. Provided that the main domain is added, it takes two clicks to create a subdomain and select what folder it will open (if different from the default one), create customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions, set a shared IP address or a dedicated one, and much more. All subdomains are going to be conveniently listed in alphabetical order under their main domain for convenient access and management. By right-clicking on any of them and by using instant access buttons you can see the error logs, visitor statistics or site files for that specific subdomain. We have not set a limit for the total number of subdomains that you can create with any one of our plans, so you can have as many as you need.
