A subdomain is the part of the web address which is before a domain and you've quite possibly seen a lot of subdomains while browsing the Web. For example, many sites like Wikipedia have versions a number of languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org etc. The 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 use subdomains instead of 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 each other.

Subdomains in Cloud Web Hosting

Our cloud web hosting packages will allow you to set up hundreds of subdomains for any domain hosted in your account without any hassle. As long as the main domain is added, it requires 2 mouse 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, plus much more. All subdomains are going to be conveniently listed in alphabetical order under their main domain for easy access and management. By right-clicking on any of them and by using fast access buttons you can see the error logs, visitor statistics or website files for that specific subdomain. We have not set a restriction for the amount of subdomains you can create with any one of our plans, so you can have as many as you wish.
