Subdomains

What precisely is a subdomain? How to set up one? How could it help your online presence?

A subdomain is the section of the web address that is before a domain and you've almost certainly seen a lot of subdomains while browsing the Web. For example, many websites like Wikipedia have versions in several languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org and so on. The main advantage of using a subdomain is that it can have an independent website and its own records, so you are able to even host it on a different server. The practical use is that one could have a supplementary site, such as an e-learning portal for college students in addition to the primary school website. If you use subdomains as opposed to subfolders, it will be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a certain website, not mentioning that it'll be more secure to have the websites separate from each other.

: Subdomains in Website Hosting

Each and every website hosting plan which we offer will permit you to create many subdomains with no more than a couple of mouse clicks within your hosting Control Panel. They will all be listed in the area where you create them and arranged under the main domain for more convenience, so that you're able to very easily keep an eye on them all. In addition, you can access a lot of functions for any one of the subdomains through right-click context menus - as an example, you can view or change their DNS records, access the website files, and more. While creating a new subdomain, you'll also have many options that you can choose from - define the default access folder, set unique error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or choose if the subdomain will use a shared or a dedicated IP address. What number of subdomains you will have is completely up to you as we have not restricted this feature for any of our packages.
