A subdomain is the section of the web address which is before a domain and you have probably seen a lot of subdomains while surfing around the Web. For instance, many sites like Wikipedia have versions in several languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org etc. The main advantage of employing 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 one could have a supplementary website, such as an e-learning portal for students aside from the main school site. If you work with subdomains as opposed to subfolders, it will be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a specific site, not mentioning that it'll be more safe to have the sites separate from one another.

Subdomains in Shared Hosting

Our shared hosting plans will allow you to set up numerous subdomains for every domain name hosted within your account without any hassle. As long as the main domain is added, it takes two clicks to create a subdomain and pick what folder it will open (if different from the default one), set custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions, set a shared IP address or a dedicated one, and a lot more. All subdomains are going to be conveniently listed in alphabetical order under their main domain for effortless access and administration. By right-clicking on any of them and by using fast access buttons you can see the error logs, visitor statistics or site files for that particular subdomain. We have not set a restriction for the total amount of subdomains that you can create with any one of our plans, so you can have as many as you wish.
