A subdomain is the part of the web address that is before a domain and you have quite possibly seen a lot of subdomains while browsing world wide web. As an illustration, many sites like Wikipedia have versions in different languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org and so on. The main advantage of using a subdomain is that it can have a separate website and its own records, so you are able to even host it on a separate server. The practical use is that you can have a supplementary website, such as an e-learning portal for college students on top of the main school site. If you use subdomains rather than subfolders, it'll be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a particular site, not mentioning that it'll be more safe to have the websites separate from each other.

Subdomains in Cloud Web Hosting

Each cloud web hosting plan that we supply will allow you to create many subdomains with no more than a few clicks within your website hosting Control Panel. They will all be listed in the area in which you create them and arranged under the main domain for more convenience, so you can easily keep tabs on them all. Additionally, you can access lots of functions for any one of the subdomains through 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're also going to have numerous options that you can choose from - define the default access folder, set customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or decide if the subdomain will use a shared or a dedicated IP address. The number of subdomains you'll have is 100 % up to you as we haven't restricted this feature for any one of our plans.
