A subdomain is the part of the web address that's before a domain name and you have quite possibly seen a lot of subdomains while surfing around the Web. For instance, many websites like Wikipedia have versions in different languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org etc. The advantage of using 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 one could have a supplementary site, such as an e-learning portal for college students aside from the primary school site. If you work with subdomains instead of subfolders, it'll be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a particular website, not mentioning that it'll be more safe to have the sites separate from one another.
Subdomains in Cloud Website Hosting
When you use cloud website hosting packages you'll be able to create subdomains with only a few clicks in your hosting CP. All of them will be listed in a single spot together with the domain addresses hosted in the account and grouped under their own domain to help make their administration simpler. Regardless of the plan that you pick, you are going to be able to create hundreds of subdomains and set their access folder or create custom error pages during the process. You'll have access to many functions for any of them with just a click, so from the exact same section in which you create them you can access their DNS records, files, visitor statistics, etc. Unlike other companies, we have not restricted the amount of subdomains you can have even if you host one domain name inside the account.
