A subdomain is the part of the web address that's before a domain and you have almost certainly seen a lot of subdomains while browsing world wide web. For example, many websites such as Wikipedia have versions in various languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org etc. The best thing about employing a subdomain is that it can have an independent website and its own records, so you can 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 on top of the primary school website. If you are using subdomains instead of subfolders, it's going to 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 one another.
Subdomains in Shared Hosting
Our shared hosting packages will enable you to create numerous subdomains for any domain address hosted in your account without any difficulty. Assuming that the main domain address is added, it requires two clicks to create a subdomain and pick what folder it'll open (if different from the default one), create custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions, set a shared IP address or a dedicated one, plus much more. All subdomains are going to be conveniently listed in alphabetical order under their main domain for convenient access and administration. By right-clicking on any one of them and by using quick access buttons you can view the error logs, visitor statistics or site files for that particular subdomain. We have not set a limit for the total amount of subdomains that you can create with any one of our plans, so you can have as many as you wish.
