First things first, what’s the difference? A sub domain is the bit before the first dot in a URL, for example, the word ‘contact’ in the URL ‘contact.mywebsite.com’. The sub domain is primarily used for breaking up the website, by dividing it into separate domains for each page on the website, so there will be a ‘home.mywebsite.com’, ‘portfolio.mywebsite.com’, ‘contact.mywebsite.com’, and so on. Having a sub domain has its advantages, as you can easily send your web traffic to different parts of your website, but having your website hosted as a sub domain of a generic domain can often look unprofessional. |
