A subdomain is the section of the web address which is before a domain and you've almost certainly seen a lot of subdomains while exploring the Web. For instance, many websites like Wikipedia have versions in several languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org and so forth. The advantage of using a subdomain is that it can have an independent site and its own records, so you can even host it on a different server. The practical use is that you can have a supplementary site, such as an e-learning portal for college students as well as the primary school site. 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's going to be more safe to have the sites separate from each other.

Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you purchase a semi-dedicated server plan, you're going to be able to create as many subdomains as you wish because this feature is unrestricted. Since the web hosting packages are very powerful, we've decided not to put any restriction on the number of subdomains. Our state-of-the-art Hepsia CP will enable you to create a new subdomain with no more than a couple of clicks, to choose which folder it's going to access in the account, to activate FrontPage Extensions for it, to set up custom error pages, to set a shared or a dedicated IP address if you have one, and many more. To make it easier for you, all of the subdomains are going to be listed under their root domain, so that you can effortlessly see and handle them. With instant access links, you'll also be able to open the site files for each of the subdomains that you have or check out its DNS records.
