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 surfing around world wide web. For instance, many websites like Wikipedia have versions in different languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org and so forth. The advantage of employing a subdomain is that it can have a separate website and its own records, so you're able to even host it on a separate server. The practical use is that you could have a supplementary site, like an e-learning portal for college students aside from the main school website. If you use subdomains instead of subfolders, it's going to be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a particular website, not mentioning that it will be more secure to have the websites separate from one another.

Subdomains in Web Hosting

Our web hosting packages will permit you to set up hundreds of subdomains for any domain address hosted inside your account without any problem. Assuming that the main domain name is added, it will take two mouse clicks to set up a subdomain and pick what folder it'll open (if different from the default one), set customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions, set a shared IP address or a dedicated one, and a lot more. All subdomains will be conveniently listed in alphabetical order under their main domain for easy access and administration. By right-clicking on any one of them and by using fast 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 of our plans, so you can have as many as you wish.
