Subdomains

Subdomains are subdivisions or extensions of a primary domain in the [[DNS|domain name system]] (DNS) hierarchy. They are used to organize and navigate different sections of a website and can represent different services, products, or functions of the main website. Essentially, a subdomain is a way to create a separate website area without needing to register a new domain name.

Subdomains are the part of a domain that comes before the main domain name and domain extension. They can help you organize your website. For example, docs.google.com. In this URL, "docs" is the subdomain.

Subdomains function as a separate website from its domain. This distinction enables you to develop a section of your website without muddling your site’s overall intent.
