A subdomain is the part of the web address that's before a domain and you've quite possibly seen a lot of subdomains while exploring world wide web. For instance, many sites like Wikipedia have versions in several languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org etc. The advantage of employing a subdomain is that it can have a separate website and its own records, so you're able to even host it on another server. The practical use is that one could have a supplementary site, like an e-learning portal for pupils aside from the main school website. If you are using subdomains as an alternative to subfolders, it will be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a certain site, not mentioning that it's going to be more secure to have the websites separate from one another.

Subdomains in Hosting

With our hosting plans you are going to be able to create subdomains with just a few clicks in your hosting Control Panel. All of them are going to be listed in one location together with the domains hosted in the account and grouped under their own domain to help make their administration simpler. No matter the plan that you pick, you're going to be able to create hundreds of subdomains and set their access folder or set up custom error pages during the process. You'll have access to many functions for any of them with just a click, so from the very same section where you create them you can access their DNS records, files, visitor statistics, etc. As opposed to other providers, we haven't restricted the number of subdomains you can have even if you host one domain name in the account.
