A subdomain is the section of the web address that is before a domain name and you have quite possibly seen a lot of subdomains while browsing the Internet. For example, many sites like Wikipedia have versions in different languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org and so forth. The main benefit of using a subdomain is that it can have a separate site and its own records, so you're able to even host it on a separate server. The practical use is that you can have a supplementary website, like an e-learning portal for students in addition to the main school website. If you are using subdomains instead of subfolders, it will be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a certain site, not mentioning that it'll be more safe to have the sites separate from one another.
Subdomains in Cloud Website Hosting
Every single cloud website hosting plan we supply will permit you to create many subdomains with no more than a couple of mouse clicks within your hosting Control Panel. They'll all be listed in the area where you create them and grouped under the main domain for more convenience, so that you're able to easily keep an eye on them all. In addition, you can access lots of functions for any of the subdomains via right-click context menus - for example, you can view or edit their DNS records, access the website files, and more. While setting up a new subdomain, you'll also have lots of options that you can choose from - determine the default access folder, set customized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or pick if the subdomain is going to use a shared or a dedicated IP address. The number of subdomains you will have is totally up to you since we haven't restricted this feature for any of our packages.
