A subdomain is the part of the web address which is before a domain name and you have quite possibly seen a lot of subdomains while surfing around the Web. As an illustration, many websites like Wikipedia have versions in different languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org etc. The advantage of using a subdomain is that it can have an independent website and its own records, so you can even host it on another server. The practical use is that you can have a supplementary website, like an e-learning portal for college students in addition to the main school website. If you work with subdomains instead of subfolders, it'll be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a certain 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 we provide will allow you to create many subdomains with no more than a few mouse clicks inside your hosting CP. They are going to be listed in the section in which you create them and grouped under the main domain for more convenience, so that you can easily keep tabs on them all. In addition, you can access many functions for any of the subdomains via right-click context menus - for instance, you can view or modify their DNS records, access the website files, and much more. While creating a new subdomain, you'll also have numerous options that you can choose from - determine the default access folder, set unique error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or choose if the subdomain is going to use a shared or a dedicated IP address. What number of subdomains you'll have is totally up to you as we haven't restricted this feature for any of our plans.
