A subdomain is the section of the web address that is before a domain name and you've quite possibly seen a lot of subdomains while browsing world wide web. For instance, many sites like 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 site and its own records, so you are able to even host it on a separate server. The practical use is that one could have a supplementary website, like an e-learning portal for pupils as well as the main school site. If you are using subdomains instead of subfolders, it will be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a particular website, not mentioning that it will be more secure to have the sites separate from one another.

Additionally, you'll have access to many functions for any of them with only a click, so from the very same section where you create them you can access their DNS records, files, visitor statistics, etc. As opposed to other companies, we haven't limited the amount of subdomains that you can have even if you host only one domain address within the account.
