A subdomain is the section of the web address that is before a domain name and you have probably seen a lot of subdomains while browsing the Internet. As an illustration, many sites such as Wikipedia have versions a number of languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org etc. The best thing about employing a subdomain is that it can have an independent website and its own records, so you are able to even host it on a separate server. The practical use is that one could have a supplementary site, like an e-learning portal for students in addition to the main school site. If you are using subdomains rather than subfolders, it'll be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a specific site, not mentioning that it will be more secure to have the sites separate from one another.
Subdomains in Cloud Hosting
Each cloud hosting plan that we provide will allow you to create numerous subdomains with no more than a couple of mouse clicks within your website hosting Control Panel. They'll all be listed in the area in which you create them and arranged under the main domain for more convenience, so that you're able to easily keep an eye on all of them. Additionally, you can access a lot of functions for any of the subdomains via right-click context menus - for example, you can view or change their DNS records, access the site files, and a lot more. While setting up a new subdomain, you'll also have lots of options that you can choose from - specify the default access folder, set custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or pick if the subdomain is going to use a shared or a dedicated IP address. How many subdomains you will have is completely up to you as we have not limited this feature for any of our plans.
