What It's About
Today's listener wants to know if there are any advantages for using subdomains.
Notes from Chris
Episode 1575
A listener’s web host offers free “subdomains.” What are they, and are there any good reasons to use them? A subdomain is a website directory that is hosted on the same domain or address as the main website, but is accessed through a slightly different address. Let’s give some examples: SideHustleSchool.com (domain) vs. beta.SideHustleSchool.com (subdomain) That subdomain doesn’t actually exist, but the point is if I wanted to work on something or test something out, I might make that subdomain to do so. So that’s one usage of a subdomain—is it the only one? The answer is: no, there are several good reasons to do this! Our listener is wondering what they might be, so that’s what today’s episode is about."My webhost allows me to use subdomains, where I have multiple websites under the same domain and without paying more for hosting. Does this help with SEO? Should I go out and make a bunch of different subdomains and write slightly different content for each of them?"Listen to today's episode to learn more...
