Subdomain Hosting

The portion of the domain name that comes before the main domain name or extension is known as a subdomain. Subdomains are used to divide or group websites into distinct areas, and more than one subdomain can be created on a single domain. A subdomain is considered another domain other than the (main) domain in the Domain Name System (DNS) hierarchy. The top-level domain (TLD), which may be .com or .org, and the second-level domain (SLD), which is the distinctive portion of the domain name and frequently a company or brand name, are the two pieces that make up a typical domain name.

Although nominally a subdomain of the top-level domain (TLD), they function practically autonomously. Consider them an addition to your primary website. You may either alter the design and feel of your subdomain page to set it apart from your primary domain or leave it unchanged to uphold a constant brand experience. Subdomains can be incredibly useful for making sure that the right users see your high-quality content, which ultimately helps with search engine optimization.

WWW is the most popular subdomain. The front page of a website and its most crucial pages are located under this subdomain. Most domain registrars offer the www subdomain with domain name purchases since it is so frequently used. Subdomains include a prefix that directs users to a separate location while the majority of domain names are spelled as www.domainnamehere.com. For instance, the domains HostDive.com and HostDive.com/subdomain respectively link to our main website and domain hosting service.

Domain vs Subdomain

The Domain Name System sometimes referred to as DNS, converts a URL's domain name into its IP address when it is entered into a browser. The website is then located using this IP address, and it is finally loaded. Subdomains operate like that domain. They are straightforward web addresses that the Domain Name System can read and convert to an IP address.

Subdomain vs Subdirectory

A subdirectory is an organizational folder that nests inside a domain, although search engines see a subdomain as distinct from its domain. Instead of separating material under a subdomain, a subdirectory demonstrates to search engines that it is part of the parent domain. Consequently, a subdirectory would serve your purposes better than a subdomain if you have an integral component of your main website there.

An example to better understand the concept of a subdomain and subdirectory: Consider you have a dog adoption service and you have to create a domain. You wish to work together on a particular initiative with a cat adoption service as well, to let Google know that cats and dogs are connected to your pet adoption category. You may create a subdomain for the cat adoption agency to separate it from your main business which is a dog adoption agency!

Uses of a Subdomain

Testing Website: A subdomain is most frequently used to create a testing or staging version of a website. Before releasing them live on the Internet, developers frequently test new plugins and upgrades on a subdomain staging site. This makes sure that when your website goes live, you don't publish any mistakes, and the pages are working as planned.

E-Commerce: A subdomain is frequently used to establish an online store for selling goods and services. Because eCommerce sites often require a more complicated setup, businesses frequently desire a distinct subdomain to handle transactions and different pages for each type of product.

Better for Blogs: You may want to think about positioning your blog on a subdomain because blogs frequently target subjects and keywords that aren't immediately relevant to the rest of the website.

Entering New Markets: Increase your chances of expanding your internet business by using subdomains to test out various revenue-generating strategies on your website or explore other industry segments without constantly registering new domains. For your websites, subdomains may be utilized to launch online shops or create a new category of blog articles.

SEO: The way search engines interpret subdomain SEO is different from your main domain. Some SEO experts think that Google's spiders can treat a subdomain like a brand-new website and rank it independently of the primary domain. The organization of your website's content is provided by subdomains, which is advantageous to your website users. Additionally, this website structure might increase the likelihood that your website will appear higher in search results!
