A subdomain is the section of the web address which is before a domain name and you've probably seen a lot of subdomains while browsing the Web. As an example, many sites such as Wikipedia have versions in various languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org etc. The advantage of employing a subdomain is that it can have a separate site 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 website, such as an e-learning portal for students aside from the primary school site. If you are using subdomains as opposed to subfolders, it'll be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a specific site, not mentioning that it'll be more secure to have the sites separate from one another.

Subdomains in Cloud Web Hosting

When you use cloud web hosting plans you'll be able to create subdomains with just a couple of clicks in your hosting Control Panel. All of them are going to be listed in one place along with the domains hosted in the account and arranged under their own domain to help make their administration a lot easier. Regardless of the plan that you select, you're going to be able to create hundreds of subdomains and set their access folder or set up custom error pages during the process. You will also have access to a lot of functions for any of them with just a mouse click, so from the very same section in which you create them you can access their DNS records, files, visitor statistics, etc. As opposed to other companies, we have not limited the amount of subdomains that you can have even if you host one domain name within the account.
