What is a Subdomain?
A subdomain is like a little neighborhood within a bigger city. Just like a city can have many neighborhoods with different names, a website can have many subdomains with different names too.
For example, let’s say we have a website called “Awesome Website.” The main part of the website is called the “root domain,” and it’s like the center of the city. But within the “Awesome Website” city, we might have a subdomain called “games.” This subdomain is like a separate neighborhood within the city that is just for games.
We can also have subdomains for different parts of the website, like “photos” or “news.” These subdomains are like different neighborhoods within the same city, but they have different things to do and see.
How Do Subdomains Work?
Now, let’s say that someone wants to visit the “games” subdomain of “Awesome Website.” They would just type “games.awesomewebsite.com” into their web browser and they would be taken directly to the “games” subdomain. It’s just like how, if you want to go to a specific neighborhood in a city, you would type in the name of that neighborhood into your GPS and it would take you there.
Subdomains can be really helpful because they allow us to organize our website into different sections and make it easier for people to find what they’re looking for. Imagine if a city had all of its different neighborhoods mixed together – it would be really hard to find the specific place you were looking for! But by using subdomains, we can keep everything organized and easy to find.
Why Do We Use Subdomains?
So, why do we use subdomains? They’re a great way to organize our website and make it easier for people to find what they’re looking for. Imagine if a website had all of its different sections mixed together – it would be really hard to find the specific thing you were looking for! But by using subdomains, we can keep everything organized and easy to find.
Subdomains are also a great way to add new sections to our website without changing the main part of the website. For example, let’s say we have a website about pets. We might have a subdomain for “dogs,” a subdomain for “cats,” and a subdomain for “birds.” Each subdomain would have its own separate section of the website, but they would all be part of the same “pets” website.
Wrapping Up
So, that’s what a subdomain is! It’s like a separate neighborhood within a website, and it helps us keep everything organized and easy to find. Now, of course, it’s a bit more complicated than that, but it’s typically very easy to get a subdomain up and running. Hopefully, this makes sense. If not feel free to contact me here.
