A subdomain is the section of the web address which is before a domain and you have most likely seen a lot of subdomains while surfing around world wide web. For example, many sites like Wikipedia have versions in different languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org and so forth. The advantage of employing a subdomain is that it can have an independent site and its own records, so you can even host it on a separate server. The practical use is that you could have a supplementary website, such as an e-learning portal for students in addition to the main school site. If you use subdomains instead of subfolders, it'll be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a specific website, not mentioning that it will be more secure to have the sites separate from each other.

They will all be listed in the section where you create them and grouped under the main domain for more convenience, so that you can effortlessly keep track of all of them.

While setting up a new subdomain, you are also going to have numerous options that you can pick from - define the default access folder, set unique error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or decide 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 haven't limited this feature for any one of our packages.
