A subdomain is the section of the web address that's before a domain and you've almost certainly seen a lot of subdomains while exploring world wide web. For example, many sites such as Wikipedia have versions in several languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org etc. The main benefit of using a subdomain is that it can have a separate site and its own records, so you can even host it on a different server. The practical use is that you can have a supplementary site, like an e-learning portal for pupils on top of the main school site. If you work with subdomains rather than subfolders, it's going to be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a particular website, not mentioning that it's going to be more secure to have the sites separate from each other.
Subdomains in Website Hosting
Our website hosting plans will permit you to create countless subdomains for any domain address hosted inside your account without any problem. If the main domain is added, it will take 2 mouse clicks to set up a subdomain and choose what folder it'll open (if different from the default one), create unique error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions, set a shared IP address or a dedicated one, plus much more. All subdomains are going to be conveniently listed in alphabetical order under their main domain for effortless 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 site files for that particular subdomain. We haven't set a limit for the total number of subdomains you can create with any of our plans, so you can have as many as you want.
