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 Web Hosting

When you use web hosting plans you're going to be able to create subdomains with only a couple of clicks in your website hosting CP. All of them will be listed in a single location together with the domain names hosted in the account and grouped under their own domain to help make their management simpler. Regardless of the plan that you select, you will be able to create numerous subdomains and set their access folder or create custom error pages during the process. You'll have access to many functions for any of them with just a click, so from the very same section where you create them you can access their DNS records, files, visitor statistics, etc. In contrast to other companies, we haven't limited the amount of subdomains which you can have even if you host just one domain in the account.
