A subdomain is the part of the web address that's before a domain and you have probably seen a lot of subdomains while browsing world wide web. As an illustration, many websites such as Wikipedia have versions in several languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org etc. The main benefit of employing a subdomain is that it can have a separate website and its own records, so you can even host it on a separate server. The practical use is that you could have a supplementary site, like an e-learning portal for college students in addition to the primary school site. If you work with subdomains instead of subfolders, it will be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a particular site, not mentioning that it's going to be more safe to have the websites separate from one another.

Subdomains in Cloud Website Hosting

Every cloud website hosting package which we offer will allow you to create many subdomains with no more than a few mouse clicks within your hosting Control Panel. They are going to be listed in the section where you create them and grouped under the main domain for more convenience, so that you're able to effortlessly keep tabs on all of them. In addition, you can access a lot of functions for any one of the subdomains using right-click context menus - for instance, you can view or modify their DNS records, access the site files, plus much more. While setting up a new subdomain, you are also going to have numerous options that you can pick from - define the default access folder, set unique error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or pick if the subdomain will use a shared or a dedicated IP address. What number of subdomains you'll have is completely up to you because we haven't limited this feature for any of our packages.
