A subdomain is the section of the web address which is before a domain name and you've most likely seen a lot of subdomains while browsing the Web. For example, many websites like Wikipedia have versions in different languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org and so forth. The best thing about employing a subdomain is that it can have a separate site and its own records, so you can even host it on a separate server. The practical use is that you could have a supplementary site, such as an e-learning portal for pupils aside from the primary school website. If you are using subdomains instead of subfolders, it's going to be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a specific website, not mentioning that it's going to be more safe to have the sites separate from each other.

Subdomains in Shared Hosting

When you use shared hosting plans you'll be able to create subdomains with a few clicks in your hosting Control Panel. All of them are going to be listed in a single spot along with the domain addresses hosted in the account and grouped under their own domain in order to make their managing much easier. No matter the plan that you choose, you'll be able to create many subdomains and set their access folder or create custom error pages in the process. Additionally, you'll have access to many functions for any of them with just a click, so from the very same section in which you create them you can access their DNS records, files, visitor statistics, etc. In contrast to other providers, we have not limited the amount of subdomains you can have even if you host only one domain within the account.
