A subdomain is the part of the web address that's before a domain name and you've almost certainly seen a lot of subdomains while surfing around world wide web. As an illustration, many websites such as Wikipedia have versions in several languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org etc. The main benefit of using a subdomain is that it can have a separate site and its own records, so you can even host it on another server. The practical use is that one could have a supplementary website, like an e-learning portal for college students as well as the primary school site. If you work with subdomains rather than subfolders, it's going to be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a specific website, not mentioning that it'll be more secure to have the sites separate from each other.

Subdomains in Cloud Web Hosting

When you use cloud web hosting plans you're going to be able to create subdomains with a few mouse clicks in your website hosting Control Panel. All of them will be listed in one spot together with the domain addresses hosted in the account and grouped under their own domain to help make their administration a lot easier. Whatever the plan that you choose, you will be able to create hundreds of subdomains and set their access folder or set up 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 where you create them you can access their DNS records, files, visitor statistics, etc. In contrast to other providers, we haven't limited the amount of subdomains you can have even if you host only one domain within the account.
