A subdomain is the part of the web address that is before a domain and you've most likely seen a lot of subdomains while exploring the Web. As an example, many websites like Wikipedia have versions a number of languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org and so on. The advantage of employing a subdomain is that it can have a separate website and its own records, so you can even host it on another server. The practical use is that one could have a supplementary website, like an e-learning portal for students on top of the primary school website. If you use subdomains as an alternative to subfolders, it will be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a particular website, not mentioning that it'll be more secure to have the websites separate from one another.

Subdomains in Shared Hosting

When you use shared hosting packages you will be able to create subdomains with just a few mouse clicks in your hosting CP. All of them are going to be listed in a single place together with the domain addresses hosted in the account and arranged under their own domain so as to make their administration much easier. No matter the plan that you select, you'll be able to create numerous subdomains and set their access folder or create custom error pages along the way. Additionally, you will have access to numerous 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. In contrast to other providers, we haven't restricted the amount of subdomains you can have even if you host one domain address in the account.
