A subdomain is the part of the web address which is before a domain and you have quite possibly seen a lot of subdomains while exploring the Web. As an example, many sites such as Wikipedia have versions a number of languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org etc. The advantage 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 another server. The practical use is that one could have a supplementary website, like an e-learning portal for students on top of the main school website. If you are using subdomains as opposed to subfolders, it'll be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a particular site, not mentioning that it will be more secure to have the websites separate from one another.

Our website hosting packages will permit you to set up many subdomains for any domain address hosted in your account without any hassle. Provided that the main domain address is added, it will take two mouse clicks to create a subdomain and pick what folder it's going to open (if different from the default one), create unique error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions, set a shared IP address or a dedicated one, and much more. All subdomains will be conveniently listed in alphabetical order under their main domain for effortless access and administration.
