A subdomain is the part of the web address which is before a domain name and you've quite possibly seen a lot of subdomains while browsing the Internet. As an example, many websites like Wikipedia have versions a number of languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org and so forth. The main benefit of using a subdomain is that it can have an independent website and its own records, so you're able to even host it on a different server. The practical use is that you can have a supplementary website, like an e-learning portal for pupils aside from the main school website. If you work with subdomains as opposed to subfolders, it'll be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a certain site, not mentioning that it will be more safe to have the sites separate from one another.

Subdomains in Shared Website Hosting

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