A subdomain is the part of the web address that is before a domain and you've most likely seen a lot of subdomains while surfing around the Web. For instance, many websites like Wikipedia have versions in various languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org and so forth. The main benefit of employing a subdomain is that it can have an independent site and its own records, so you are able to even host it on another server. The practical use is that you can have a supplementary site, like an e-learning portal for students as well as the primary school website. If you work with subdomains rather than subfolders, it's going to be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a specific site, not mentioning that it'll be more secure to have the websites 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 CP. All of them will be listed in one place along with the domains hosted in the account and grouped under their own domain so as to make their managing easier. Whatever the plan that you choose, you are going to be able to create many subdomains and set their access folder or create custom error pages during the process. You'll have access to numerous 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. Unlike other providers, we have not restricted the amount of subdomains that you can have even if you host only one domain address in the account.
