A subdomain is the part of the web address that's before a domain and you've most likely seen a lot of subdomains while surfing around the Internet. As an example, many sites like Wikipedia have versions a number of languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org and so forth. The main advantage of employing a subdomain is that it can have a separate site and its own records, so you are able to even host it on a different server. The practical use is that you could have a supplementary website, like an e-learning portal for college students aside from the main school site. If you work with subdomains as opposed to subfolders, it'll be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a specific site, not mentioning that it's going to be more safe to have the websites separate from one another.

Subdomains in Shared Hosting

Our shared hosting packages will allow you to set up hundreds of subdomains for every domain address hosted in your account without any difficulty. As long as the main domain name is added, it requires two clicks to set up a subdomain and select what folder it'll open (if different from the default one), create customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions, set a shared IP address or a dedicated one, and a lot more. All subdomains will be conveniently listed in alphabetical order under their main domain for easy access and control. By right-clicking on any of them and by using fast access buttons you can see the error logs, visitor statistics or site files for that specific subdomain. We have not set a restriction for the amount of subdomains you can create with any of our plans, so you can have as many as you need.
