subdomeny

A subdomain is a domain that is part of a larger domain. For example, if "example.com" is a domain, then "mail.example.com" or "shop.example.com" are subdomains. Subdomains are created to organize and navigate to different sections of a website or to host separate services. They appear before the main domain name in a web address.

The Domain Name System (DNS) is what makes subdomains possible. When you register a domain name, you essentially get a primary domain. You can then create subdomains within that primary domain. Each subdomain can point to a different IP address or server, allowing for the hosting of distinct content or applications. For instance, a company might use "blog.company.com" for their company blog and "support.company.com" for their customer support portal, all under the main "company.com" domain.

Subdomains are useful for various purposes. They help in segmenting website content, making it easier for users to find specific information. They can also be used for testing new website features or for hosting different language versions of a site. Furthermore, subdomains can be leveraged for marketing campaigns or to manage separate online stores. The creation of a subdomain is typically done through the domain registrar or hosting provider's control panel, where DNS records are managed.
