A subdomain is the section of the web address that's before a domain name and you've quite possibly seen a lot of subdomains while exploring the Internet. As an example, many websites like Wikipedia have versions a number of languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org etc. The main advantage of employing a subdomain is that it can have a separate site and its own records, so you can even host it on a separate server. The practical use is that you can have a supplementary website, like an e-learning portal for college students in addition to the main school site. If you work with subdomains as opposed to subfolders, it's going to be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a certain website, not mentioning that it will be more secure to have the sites separate from each other.

Subdomains in Cloud Hosting

Each cloud hosting package which we offer will permit you to create many subdomains with no more than a couple of mouse clicks inside your hosting CP. They're going to be listed in the section in which you create them and grouped under the main domain for more convenience, so you can very easily keep track of all of them. Furthermore, you can access a lot of functions for any of the subdomains through right-click context menus - as an example, you can view or edit their DNS records, access the site files, and more. While setting up a new subdomain, you are also going to have a number of options that you can pick from - specify the default access folder, create customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or decide if the subdomain will use a shared or a dedicated IP address. What number of subdomains you'll have is totally up to you because we haven't restricted this feature for any one of our plans.
