Subdomenie

Subdomenie is a term of Dutch origin that translates to "subdomain" in English. A subdomain is a domain that is part of a larger domain. It is a hierarchical division of a main domain name. For example, in the address blog.example.com, "blog" is the subdomain, "example" is the main domain, and ".com" is the top-level domain.

Subdomains are often used to organize and separate different sections or functionalities of a website. They can be used to host different content, such as a company's blog, online store, or support portal, under a single main domain. This helps in structuring a website and can improve user navigation. For instance, a business might use shop.company.com for its e-commerce section and support.company.com for customer service resources, all falling under the main company.com domain.

From a technical perspective, subdomains are created through DNS (Domain Name System) records. Administrators of a domain can create and configure subdomains to point to different IP addresses or servers, allowing for distinct hosting arrangements for each subdomain. This flexibility makes subdomains a valuable tool for website management and organization.
