A subdomain is the part of the web address that's before a domain and you've most likely seen a lot of subdomains while surfing around the Internet. For instance, many sites 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 site and its own records, so you can even host it on a different server. The practical use is that you can have a supplementary website, such as an e-learning portal for pupils aside from the main school website. If you work with subdomains as opposed to subfolders, it'll be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a particular site, not mentioning that it'll be more safe to have the websites separate from one another.
Subdomains in Cloud Web Hosting
Our cloud web hosting plans will enable you to set up countless subdomains for every domain hosted in your account without any problem. Provided that the main domain is added, it requires two mouse clicks to set up a subdomain and select what folder it will open (if different from the default one), create unique error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions, set a shared IP address or a dedicated one, and much more. All subdomains are going to be conveniently listed in alphabetical order under their main domain for quick access and control. By right-clicking on any of them and by using fast access buttons you can view the error logs, visitor statistics or website files for that specific subdomain. We have not set a limit for the amount of subdomains that you can create with any of our plans, so you can have as many as you need.
