A subdomain is the part of the web address which is before a domain name and you've almost certainly seen a lot of subdomains while browsing world wide web. For instance, many websites such as Wikipedia have versions in different languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org and so forth. The main advantage of using a subdomain is that it can have a separate 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 site, like an e-learning portal for pupils on top of the main school website. If you work with subdomains as opposed to subfolders, it'll be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a particular website, not mentioning that it's going to be more safe to have the sites separate from each other.

Subdomains in Cloud Hosting

Each and every cloud hosting plan which we supply will allow you to create hundreds of subdomains with no more than a couple of clicks inside your website hosting CP. They'll all be listed in the section in which you create them and grouped under the main domain for more convenience, to help you effortlessly keep an eye on every one of them. Additionally, you can access many functions for any one of the subdomains through right-click context menus - as an example, you can view or change their DNS records, access the website files, and much more. While creating a new subdomain, you're also going to have a number of options that you can select from - define the default access folder, set customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or choose if the subdomain will use a shared or a dedicated IP address. How many subdomains you'll have is entirely up to you as we have not restricted this feature for any one of our plans.
