A subdomain is the section of the web address which is before a domain and you've almost certainly seen a lot of subdomains while surfing around the Web. For example, many websites such as Wikipedia have versions a number of languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org etc. The main benefit of using a subdomain is that it can have an independent site and its own records, so you are able to even host it on a different server. The practical use is that you can have a supplementary site, like an e-learning portal for pupils as well as the primary school site. If you are using subdomains as an alternative to subfolders, it'll be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a particular site, not mentioning that it's going to be more safe to have the websites separate from each other.
Subdomains in Web Hosting
If you obtain a web hosting package from our company, you are going to be able to create subdomains with ease using your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. We've decided not to limit their number, so even if you host only 1 domain address in the account, you'll be able to create as many subdomains as you would like and have a different site for every single one. During the creation of a subdomain, you are able to select the folder inside the account that it'll open, create custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions and error logs, choose a server shared IP address or a dedicated one if you have such, plus much more. All hosted domain addresses and the subdomains you create for them will be conveniently listed in alphabetical order in one spot and you are going to be able to access lots of functions for every one of them with right-click context menus - records, files, etc.
