A subdomain is the section of the web address which is before a domain and you have most likely seen a lot of subdomains while exploring the Web. As an example, many websites like Wikipedia have versions in various languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org and so forth. The main advantage of employing a subdomain is that it can have a separate site and its own records, so you are able to even host it on another server. The practical use is that you could have a supplementary website, like an e-learning portal for students as well as the main school site. If you use subdomains instead of subfolders, it'll be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a specific site, not mentioning that it'll be more safe to have the websites separate from one another.

Subdomains in Cloud Web Hosting

Each cloud web hosting package we offer will enable you to create numerous subdomains with no more than a couple of clicks within your website hosting CP. 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 can easily keep track of them all. Furthermore, you can access many functions for any of the subdomains via right-click context menus - for example, 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 a number of options that you can choose from - determine the default access folder, set custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or select if the subdomain will use a shared or a dedicated IP address. The amount of subdomains you will have is 100 % up to you because we haven't restricted this feature for any one of our packages.
