A subdomain is the section of the web address that's before a domain name and you have quite possibly seen a lot of subdomains while browsing world wide web. For example, many websites such as Wikipedia have versions in different languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org and so on. The main benefit 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 different server. The practical use is that you can have a supplementary site, such as an e-learning portal for pupils in addition to the primary school site. If you use subdomains as opposed to subfolders, it will be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a certain site, not mentioning that it will be more safe to have the sites separate from one another.

Subdomains in Cloud Hosting

Our cloud hosting packages will allow you to create countless subdomains for any domain name hosted inside your account without any hassle. If the main domain is added, it takes two clicks to create a subdomain and pick what folder it'll open (if different from the default one), create custom 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 control. By right-clicking on any of them and by using fast access buttons you can see the error logs, visitor statistics or site files for that specific subdomain. We have not set a limit for the total number of subdomains that you can create with any one of our plans, so you can have as many as you need.
