A subdomain is the part of the web address that's before a domain and you've almost certainly seen a lot of subdomains while browsing the Web. For instance, many websites like Wikipedia have versions a number of languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org and so forth. The best thing about using a subdomain is that it can have a separate website and its own records, so you're able to even host it on a separate server. The practical use is that one could have a supplementary site, such as an e-learning portal for college students in addition to the primary school site. If you are using subdomains rather than subfolders, it'll be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a specific site, not mentioning that it will be more secure to have the sites separate from each other.
Subdomains in Website Hosting
Every single website hosting package which we supply will permit you to create hundreds of subdomains with no more than a couple of mouse clicks in your web hosting CP. They'll all be listed in the section in which you create them and arranged under the main domain for more convenience, so that you can easily keep tabs on all of them. Furthermore, you can access lots of functions for any of the subdomains via right-click context menus - as an example, you can view or modify their DNS records, access the site files, and more. While setting up a new subdomain, you are also going to have lots of options that you can choose from - define the default access folder, create custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or choose if the subdomain will use a shared or a dedicated IP address. The number of subdomains you'll have is completely up to you as we haven't restricted this feature for any of our packages.
