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 browsing the Internet. For instance, many websites such as Wikipedia have versions a number of languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org and so on. The main advantage of employing a subdomain is that it can have an independent site and its own records, so you can even host it on a different server. The practical use is that you could have a supplementary website, such as an e-learning portal for students in addition to the main school site. If you are using subdomains instead of subfolders, it will be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a specific site, not mentioning that it will be more secure to have the websites separate from each other.

Subdomains in Hosting

Each and every hosting plan which we provide will enable you to create hundreds of subdomains with no more than a few mouse clicks within your hosting CP. They're going to be listed in the section where you create them and arranged under the main domain for more convenience, so that you're able to effortlessly keep track of every one of them. In addition, you can access many functions for any one of the subdomains through right-click context menus - as an example, you can view or edit their DNS records, access the website files, plus much more. While setting up a new subdomain, you will also have a number of options that you can choose from - determine the default access folder, set custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or pick if the subdomain will use a shared or a dedicated IP address. The amount of subdomains you will have is entirely up to you because we have not restricted this feature for any one of our plans.
