A subdomain is the part of the web address that's before a domain name and you have probably seen a lot of subdomains while surfing around the Web. As an example, many websites like 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 a separate website and its own records, so you are able to even host it on a different server. The practical use is that one could have a supplementary site, like an e-learning portal for college students in addition to the main school website. If you use subdomains as an alternative to subfolders, it's going to be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a particular website, not mentioning that it will be more safe to have the sites separate from one another.
Subdomains in Shared Website Hosting
Our shared website hosting packages will allow you to create numerous subdomains for every domain hosted in your account without any problem. As long as the main domain name is added, it will take two mouse clicks to create a subdomain and select what folder it'll open (if different from the default one), set unique error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions, set a shared IP address or a dedicated one, and much more. All subdomains will be conveniently listed in alphabetical order under their main domain for convenient access and management. By right-clicking on any one of them and by using fast access buttons you can see the error logs, visitor statistics or website files for that particular subdomain. We have not set a restriction for the total amount of subdomains you can create with any one of our plans, so you can have as many as you wish.
