A subdomain is the part of the web address which is before a domain and you've most likely seen a lot of subdomains while surfing around world wide web. As an illustration, many sites like Wikipedia have versions in several languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org and so on. The main advantage of using a subdomain is that it can have a separate site and its own records, so you are able to even host it on another server. The practical use is that you could have a supplementary site, such as an e-learning portal for students on top of the main school site. If you work with subdomains as an alternative to 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 safe to have the sites separate from one another.

Subdomains in Shared Hosting

With our shared hosting plans you will be able to create subdomains with a couple of mouse clicks in your web hosting Control Panel. All of them are going to be listed in a single spot together with the domain addresses hosted in the account and grouped under their own domain so as to make their management a lot easier. Regardless of the plan that you select, you'll be able to create numerous subdomains and set their access folder or create custom error pages during the process. Additionally, you'll have access to numerous functions for any of them with only a mouse click, so from the 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 limited the number of subdomains you can have even if you host only one domain within the account.
