A subdomain is the part of the web address that is before a domain name and you've most likely seen a lot of subdomains while browsing the Web. As an example, many websites such as Wikipedia have versions in several languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org etc. 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 separate server. The practical use is that you can have a supplementary site, such as an e-learning portal for students as well as 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 Shared Website Hosting

When you use shared website hosting packages you're going to be able to create subdomains with just a couple of mouse clicks in your hosting CP. All of them are going to be listed in a single location together with the domains hosted in the account and grouped under their own domain in order to make their managing simpler. Whatever the plan that you pick, you will be able to create many subdomains and set their access folder or create custom error pages along the way. Additionally, you will have access to a lot of functions for any of them with just a mouse click, so from the exact same section in which you create them you can access their DNS records, files, visitor statistics, etc. Unlike other companies, we haven't restricted the amount of subdomains that you can have even if you host just one domain in the account.
