id=\"Domain\"><\/span>Domain<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A domain is the primary internet address of your website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>yourdomain.com<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is the address that users type into their browser to access your website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Subdomain\"><\/span>Subdomain<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A subdomain is an additional address created under the main domain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>blog.yourdomain.com<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><code>yourdomain.com<\/code> is the domain.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><code>blog<\/code> is the subdomain.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The subdomain appears to the left of the main domain and is separated by a dot. Even the commonly used <code>www<\/code> prefix is technically a subdomain. For example, <code>www.yourdomain.com<\/code> is a subdomain of <code>yourdomain.com<\/code>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Use_Subdomains\"><\/span>Why Use Subdomains?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Subdomains are commonly used to separate different sections of a project while keeping them associated with the same main domain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Examples include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Purpose<\/th><th>Example<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Blog<\/td><td><code>blog.yourdomain.com<\/code><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Online Store<\/td><td><code>shop.yourdomain.com<\/code><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Knowledge Base<\/td><td><code>help.yourdomain.com<\/code><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Client Portal<\/td><td><code>client.yourdomain.com<\/code><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Development Environment<\/td><td><code>dev.yourdomain.com<\/code><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each subdomain can host a completely separate website, application, or service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Advantages_of_Subdomains\"><\/span>Advantages of Subdomains<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Organize different services under one brand.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Run separate applications independently.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use different CMS platforms for different sections.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Create development or testing environments.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Maintain separate file structures and configurations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_I_Need_to_Register_a_Subdomain\"><\/span>Do I Need to Register a Subdomain?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unlike a domain, a subdomain does not need to be purchased separately. Once you own a domain, you can create as many subdomains as your hosting service allows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Examples\"><\/span>Examples<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Main_Website\"><\/span>Main Website<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>yourdomain.com<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Company_Blog\"><\/span>Company Blog<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>blog.yourdomain.com<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Online_Store\"><\/span>Online Store<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>shop.yourdomain.com<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Customer_Support_Portal\"><\/span>Customer Support Portal<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>support.yourdomain.com<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All of these addresses belong to the same domain but can operate as separate websites or services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Summary\"><\/span>Summary<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A <strong>domain<\/strong> is your primary website address, while a <strong>subdomain<\/strong> is an additional address created under that domain. Subdomains are useful for organizing different parts of a website, running separate applications, or creating dedicated sections such as blogs, stores, help centers, or development environments. They are created within an existing domain and do not require separate registration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"template":"","format":"standard","manualknowledgebasecat":[128],"manual_kb_tag":[5013,5014,5015,5016,772,1047,1052,5010,5011,5012],"class_list":["post-9666","manual_kb","type-manual_kb","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","manualknowledgebasecat-domains","manual_kb_tag-subdomain-examples","manual_kb_tag-subdomain-uses","manual_kb_tag-subdomain-benefits","manual_kb_tag-register-subdomain","manual_kb_tag-domain","manual_kb_tag-subdomain","manual_kb_tag-create-subdomain","manual_kb_tag-domain-vs-subdomain","manual_kb_tag-what-is-a-subdomain","manual_kb_tag-how-to-create-subdomain"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybox.com\/help\/ro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/manual_kb\/9666","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybox.com\/help\/ro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/manual_kb"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybox.com\/help\/ro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/manual_kb"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybox.com\/help\/ro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mybox.com\/help\/ro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/manual_kb\/9666\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9674,"href":"https:\/\/mybox.com\/help\/ro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/manual_kb\/9666\/revisions\/9674"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybox.com\/help\/ro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9666"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"manualknowledgebasecat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybox.com\/help\/ro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/manualknowledgebasecat?post=9666"},{"taxonomy":"manual_kb_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybox.com\/help\/ro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/manual_kb_tag?post=9666"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
