A subdomain is the part of the web address that's before a domain name and you have quite possibly seen a lot of subdomains while exploring world wide web. As an illustration, many websites such as Wikipedia have versions in various languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org etc. The advantage 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 separate server. The practical use is that you could have a supplementary website, like an e-learning portal for college students in addition to the main school website. If you use subdomains as an alternative to subfolders, it's going to be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a specific website, not mentioning that it's going to be more secure to have the websites separate from one another.

Our hosting plans will allow you to create hundreds of subdomains for every domain address hosted within your account without any hassle. As long as the main domain name is added, it takes 2 clicks to set up a subdomain and choose what folder it will 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 convenient access and control.
