A subdomain is the part of the web address which is before a domain and you've most likely seen a lot of subdomains while browsing world wide web. For example, many websites such as Wikipedia have versions a number of languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org and so on. The main 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 different server. The practical use is that you could have a supplementary website, such as an e-learning portal for students on top of the primary school site. If you use subdomains as an alternative to subfolders, it'll be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a certain website, not mentioning that it's going to be more secure to have the sites separate from each other.
Subdomains in Cloud Web Hosting
Our cloud web hosting plans will enable you to set up hundreds of subdomains for every domain name hosted in your account without any problem. As long as the main domain is added, it will take 2 clicks to create a subdomain and choose what folder it's going to open (if different from the default one), set custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions, set a shared IP address or a dedicated one, and 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 one of them and by using quick access buttons you can see the error logs, visitor statistics or site 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 need.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Using our semi-dedicated server plans, you will be able to create an unlimited amount of subdomains for any of the domains that you add as hosted in the account. It's going to take a couple of mouse clicks to create a new subdomain and throughout the process you are going to be able to add custom-made error pages for it, pick if it will use a shared or a dedicated IP, change the default folder that it will access or activate FrontPage Extensions. All subdomains you have within the account will be arranged under their root domain from a to z and you'll be able to see and manage them without difficulty. Using quick access buttons and right-click menus you'll be able to jump to the website files inside the File Manager section or check logs, visitor statistics and other info about any of your subdomains.
