Subdomain or Subdirectory: The Surprising SEO Secret That Could Make or Break Your Website!

What is a subdomain?

A subdomain is a label that appears before your main domain name (e.g., blog.example.com, shop.example.com, support.example.com). 

Contrary to what people think, a subdomain doesn’t always function as a separate website hosted elsewhere. A subdomain can point to the:

  • Same content (e.g., www. as a subdomain).
  • Different content on the same hosting (e.g., fr.support.wordpress.com for localized content, a type of web content adapted to a specific language or region).
  • Different hosting and content (e.g., hosting blog.example.com on a server completely separate from example.com).

Businesses with diverse product offerings often use subdomains to organize content hierarchy and ensure easy navigation.
