Subdomains help divert traffic to specific pages on your website.
URLs have multiple levels to them. These include:
- Protocol
- Subdomain
- Root Domain
- Top Level Domain
Subdomains can also be called third-level domains. Depending on how many layers you have to your website, there can also be fourth-level or fifth-level domains.
If adding a blog, store, or any other functions to your website, adding subdomains could help keep them organized. These would keep them separate, while allowing them to all be on your primary site.
