Subdomains

What is a subdomain? How do you set up one? How could it help your online presence?

A subdomain is the section of the web address which is before a domain name and you've almost certainly seen a lot of subdomains while surfing around the Web. As an example, many sites such as Wikipedia have versions in different languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org and so on. The main benefit of employing a subdomain is that it can have an independent website 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 site, such as an e-learning portal for students aside from the primary school site. If you are using subdomains instead of subfolders, it'll be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a specific website, not mentioning that it'll be more safe to have the websites separate from each other.

Assuming that the main domain name is added, it will take two clicks to set up a subdomain and choose what folder it's going to open (if different from the default one), set customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions, set a shared IP address or a dedicated one, and more. All subdomains are going to be conveniently listed in alphabetical order under their main domain for quick access and control.
