A subdomain is the part of the web address that is before a domain and you've probably seen a lot of subdomains while surfing around world wide web. As an illustration, many websites such as Wikipedia have versions a number of languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org etc. The main advantage of employing a subdomain is that it can have a separate site and its own records, so you're able to even host it on a different server. The practical use is that one could have a supplementary website, like an e-learning portal for students as well as the main school website. If you work with subdomains instead of subfolders, it will be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a certain website, not mentioning that it will be more safe to have the websites separate from one another.
Subdomains in Shared Web Hosting
Every shared web hosting plan that we supply will enable you to create hundreds of subdomains with no more than a couple of clicks within your web hosting CP. They are going to be listed in the section in which you create them and grouped under the main domain for more convenience, so that you're able to easily keep track of all of them. In addition, you can access a lot of functions for any of the subdomains via right-click context menus - for instance, you can view or modify their DNS records, access the site files, and more. While setting up a new subdomain, you'll also have numerous options that you can choose from - determine the default access folder, create unique error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or choose if the subdomain is going to use a shared or a dedicated IP address. The number of subdomains you will have is completely up to you since we have not restricted this feature for any one of our packages.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers
When you buy a semi-dedicated server package, you're going to be able to create as many subdomains as you'd like as this feature is unlimited.

To make it easier for you, all the subdomains will be listed under their root domain, so you can effortlessly see and handle them. Through quick access links, you will also be able to open the site files for each of the subdomains that you have or check out its DNS records.
