subdomain
From the Google Search page
- When would you use a subdomain?
- A subdomain is a division or alias of your domain that can be used to organize your existing website into a separate site.
- Typically, subdomains are used if there is content that is distinct from the rest of the site.
- Mar 21, 2016
- What is an example of a subdomain?
- A subdomain is a domain that is part of a larger domain; the only domain that is not also a subdomain is the root domain
- For example, west.example.com and east.example.com are subdomains of the example.com domain,
- which in turn is a subdomain of the com top-level domain (TLD).
