What is a subdomain and example of one?
A subdomain is an additional part to your main domain name. You can create multiple subdomains or child domains on your main domain. For example: store.yourwebsite.com. In this example, ‘store’ is the subdomain, ‘yourwebsite’ is the primary domain and ‘.com’ is the top level domain (TLD).
What does the subdomain do?
A subdomain is, as the name would suggest, an additional section of your main domain name. You create subdomains to help organize and navigate to different sections of your main website. Within your main domain, you can have as many subdomains as necessary to get to all of the different pages of your website.
What do you need to know about subdomains?
What is a subdomain? Subdomains are a prefix added to your domain name in order to help navigate and organize sections of your website. They are primarily used to manage site areas that are extensive enough to require their own hierarchy, such as online stores, blogs or support platforms.
Can a subdomain be a child of a primary domain?
You can create multiple subdomains or child domains on your main domain. For example: store.yourwebsite.com. In this example, ‘store’ is the subdomain, ‘yourwebsite’ is the primary domain and ‘.com’ is the top level domain (TLD). You can use any text as your subdomain, but you want to make sure it’s easy to type and remember.
How is a subdomain different from a subfolder?
That ordering is critical to distinguishing a subdomain from a subfolder. Unlike a subdomain, a subfolder branches off from the top-level domain in the site hierarchy.
How do I connect a domain to a subdomain?
Go to the Domains page. Click Connect a domain you already own. Select the site you want to connect and click Next. Click connect a subdomain at the bottom of your screen. Enter the subdomain you want to connect (e.g. blog.mystunningwebsite.com). Click Next.
