A subdomain is the section of the web address that is before a domain name and you've almost certainly seen a lot of subdomains while exploring world wide web. For example, many websites like Wikipedia have versions in various languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org etc. The advantage of employing a subdomain is that it can have an independent website and its own records, so you're able to even host it on a different server. The practical use is that you can have a supplementary website, like an e-learning portal for students on top of the primary school website. If you work with subdomains instead of subfolders, it will be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a certain website, not mentioning that it's going to be more secure to have the sites separate from one another.

Subdomains in Cloud Web Hosting

Each and every cloud web hosting plan we offer will enable you to create many subdomains with no more than a couple of clicks inside your hosting Control Panel. They will all be listed in the section where you create them and arranged under the main domain for more convenience, so that you can effortlessly keep an eye on every one of them. Furthermore, you can access a lot of functions for any of the subdomains using right-click context menus - for instance, you can view or modify 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 - specify the default access folder, set unique error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or pick if the subdomain is going to use a shared or a dedicated IP address. The number of subdomains you are going to have is 100 % up to you since we have not limited this feature for any of our plans.
