A subdomain is the part of the web address which is before a domain name and you have probably seen a lot of subdomains while exploring the Internet. For example, many websites such as Wikipedia have versions in different languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org and so on. The main advantage of employing a subdomain is that it can have an independent 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, such as an e-learning portal for pupils as well as the main school website. If you work with subdomains rather than subfolders, it's going to be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a specific site, not mentioning that it will be more secure to have the websites separate from each other.
Subdomains in Cloud Web Hosting
Every single cloud web hosting plan that we supply will enable you to create numerous subdomains with no more than a few clicks within your website hosting Control Panel. They'll all be listed in the area where you create them and arranged under the main domain for more convenience, so that you can effortlessly keep track of every one of them. In addition, you can access a lot of functions for any of the subdomains through right-click context menus - as an example, you can view or change their DNS records, access the website files, and more. While setting up a new subdomain, you are also going to have many options that you can select from - define 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 number of subdomains you'll have is completely up to you because we haven't limited this feature for any of our plans.
