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.
