A subdomain is the section of the web address that is before a domain name and you've almost certainly seen a lot of subdomains while surfing around world wide web. As an example, many websites like Wikipedia have versions a number of languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org and so on. The main advantage of using 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 you can have a supplementary site, like an e-learning portal for students as well as the primary school website. If you work with subdomains rather than subfolders, it'll be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a certain site, not mentioning that it's going to be more secure to have the websites separate from one another.
Subdomains in Cloud Hosting
Our cloud hosting packages will allow you to create countless subdomains for any domain name hosted within your account without any difficulty. Provided that the main domain address is added, it requires 2 clicks to create a subdomain and pick what folder it will open (if different from the default one), set unique error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions, set a shared IP address or a dedicated one, and a lot more. All subdomains are going to be conveniently listed in alphabetical order under their main domain for easy access and administration. By right-clicking on any one of them and by using quick access buttons you can see the error logs, visitor statistics or website files for that specific subdomain. We haven't set a restriction for the amount of subdomains that you can create with any of our plans, so you can have as many as you want.
