A subdomain is the section of the web address that's before a domain name and you have most likely seen a lot of subdomains while surfing around world wide web. As an example, many sites like Wikipedia have versions in several languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org and so on. The best thing about employing a subdomain is that it can have an independent site and its own records, so you can even host it on another server. The practical use is that you could have a supplementary site, such as an e-learning portal for college students in addition to the main school site. If you are using subdomains rather than subfolders, it's going to 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 Hosting

Each hosting package which we supply will enable you to create hundreds of subdomains with no more than a few mouse clicks in your hosting CP. They're going to be listed in the section in which you create them and arranged under the main domain for more convenience, so you can effortlessly keep track of them all. In addition, you can access lots of functions for any one of the subdomains through right-click context menus - as an example, you can view or modify their DNS records, access the website files, and more. While creating a new subdomain, you'll also have a number of options that you can choose from - determine the default access folder, set customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or choose if the subdomain will use a shared or a dedicated IP address. How many subdomains you'll have is entirely up to you since we haven't restricted this feature for any of our packages.
