A subdomain is the section of the web address that is before a domain name and you've probably seen a lot of subdomains while exploring the Internet. As an illustration, many sites such as Wikipedia have versions a number of languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org and so forth. The advantage of using a subdomain is that it can have a separate website and its own records, so you can even host it on another server. The practical use is that you could have a supplementary website, such as an e-learning portal for students aside from the primary school site. If you use subdomains as an alternative to subfolders, it will be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a certain site, not mentioning that it's going to be more secure to have the websites separate from each other.

You'll have access to a lot of functions for any of them with just a mouse click, so from the very same section in which you create them you can access their DNS records, files, visitor statistics, etc. As opposed to other companies, we have not restricted the amount of subdomains you can have even if you host one domain in the account.
