A subdomain is the part of the web address that's before a domain and you've quite possibly seen a lot of subdomains while browsing the Internet. As an example, many websites such as Wikipedia have versions in different languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org and so on. 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 a separate server. The practical use is that you could have a supplementary site, such as an e-learning portal for pupils as well as the primary school site. If you use subdomains as an alternative to subfolders, it's going to be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a specific website, not mentioning that it's going to be more safe to have the sites separate from one another.

Subdomains in Cloud Web Hosting

Each cloud web hosting plan that we offer will permit you to create many subdomains with no more than a couple of clicks in your hosting Control Panel. They are going to be listed in the section where you create them and grouped under the main domain for more convenience, so you can easily keep an eye on all of them. Furthermore, you can access a lot of functions for any one of the subdomains using right-click context menus - for example, you can view or change their DNS records, access the website files, and more. While creating a new subdomain, you are also going to have a number of options that you can choose from - determine the default access folder, create customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or select if the subdomain will use a shared or a dedicated IP address. The number of subdomains you are going to have is entirely up to you since we haven't limited this feature for any one of our packages.
