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 the Web. As an example, many websites such as Wikipedia have versions in different languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org and so forth. The main benefit of employing a subdomain is that it can have a separate website and its own records, so you are able to even host it on a separate server. The practical use is that one could have a supplementary site, like an e-learning portal for students aside from the main school website. If you are using subdomains as opposed to subfolders, it will be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a particular website, not mentioning that it's going to be more secure to have the websites separate from one another.
Subdomains in Shared Website Hosting
When you use shared website hosting plans you are going to be able to create subdomains with a few clicks in your hosting CP. All of them are going to be listed in one location together with the domain names hosted in the account and grouped under their own domain to help make their management much easier. Regardless of the plan that you pick, you are going to be able to create hundreds of subdomains and set their access folder or set up custom error pages in the process. Additionally, you'll have access to lots of functions for any of them with just a click, so from the exact same section where you create them you can access their DNS records, files, visitor statistics, etc. In contrast to other providers, we have not limited the amount of subdomains which you can have even if you host one domain within the account.
