A subdomain is the section of the web address that's before a domain name and you've probably seen a lot of subdomains while browsing world wide web. As an example, many sites such as Wikipedia have versions in different languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org and so on. The main advantage of employing a subdomain is that it can have an independent website and its own records, so you're able to even host it on a separate server. The practical use is that you could have a supplementary site, like an e-learning portal for college students as well as the primary school site. If you work with subdomains instead of subfolders, it's going to be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a particular website, not mentioning that it'll be more secure to have the sites separate from one another.

Subdomains in Cloud Hosting

When you use cloud hosting packages you're going to be able to create subdomains with just a few clicks in your website hosting Control Panel. All of them are going to be listed in a single place together with the domain addresses hosted in the account and grouped under their own domain to help make their managing a lot easier. Whatever the plan that you select, you will be able to create many subdomains and set their access folder or set up custom error pages during the process. You'll have access to a lot of functions for any of them with just a click, so from the same section in which you create them you can access their DNS records, files, visitor statistics, etc. As opposed to other providers, we haven't limited the amount of subdomains that you can have even if you host just one domain in the account.
