A subdomain is the section of the web address that is before a domain name and you have almost certainly seen a lot of subdomains while browsing the Internet. For example, many websites such as Wikipedia have versions in various 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 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 pupils on top of the primary school site. If you are using subdomains as opposed to subfolders, it's going to be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a particular site, not mentioning that it will be more safe to have the sites separate from each other.

Subdomains in Cloud Hosting

Each cloud hosting plan which we provide will allow you to create many subdomains with no more than a couple of clicks within your website hosting Control Panel. They're going to be listed in the area where you create them and grouped under the main domain for more convenience, so that you're able to very easily keep track of every one of them. Furthermore, you can access lots of functions for any one of the subdomains using right-click context menus - for example, you can view or edit their DNS records, access the website files, plus much more. While creating a new subdomain, you'll also have lots of options that you can pick from - define the default access folder, set unique error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or choose 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 of our plans.
