A subdomain is the section of the web address that's before a domain and you have probably seen a lot of subdomains while browsing the Internet. As an illustration, many websites such as Wikipedia have versions in several languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org and so forth. The main advantage of using 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 website, like an e-learning portal for college students on top of the main 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 site, not mentioning that it's going to be more safe to have the sites separate from one another.

Subdomains in Shared Hosting

When you use shared hosting plans you are going to be able to create subdomains with a couple of mouse clicks in your web hosting CP. All of them will be listed in one location along with the domain names hosted in the account and grouped under their own domain in order to make their administration much easier. No matter the plan that you pick, you'll be able to create hundreds of subdomains and set their access folder or set up custom error pages during the process. Additionally, you'll have access to a lot of functions for any of them with only a click, so from the exact 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 number of subdomains which you can have even if you host just one domain name within the account.
