A subdomain is the section of the web address that's before a domain and you've almost certainly seen a lot of subdomains while browsing the Web. For instance, many websites like Wikipedia have versions in different languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org and so on. The best thing about employing a subdomain is that it can have a separate site and its own records, so you can even host it on another server. The practical use is that you could have a supplementary site, like an e-learning portal for pupils aside from the main school site. If you use subdomains rather than subfolders, it's going to be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a certain website, not mentioning that it'll be more secure to have the sites separate from each other.
Subdomains in Shared Hosting

They are going to be listed in the section where you create them and grouped under the main domain for more convenience, so that you're able to effortlessly monitor all of them. In addition, you can access lots of functions for any one of the subdomains via right-click context menus - for instance, you can view or edit their DNS records, access the site files, plus much more. While creating a new subdomain, you're also going to have a number of options that you can select from - determine the default access folder, set custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or pick if the subdomain will use a shared or a dedicated IP address. What number of subdomains you will have is totally up to you as we have not limited this feature for any of our plans.
