# SUB DOMAINS

SEOs was driven to subdomains an online [publishing](https://www.mindstick.com/blog/11827/self-publishing-variety) [platform](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/13080/wikipedia-the-most-powerful-advertising-platform-of-the-digital-age) that was severely hit by the Google Panda update, to utilize subdomains to remedy the over 50 percent [increase](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/12959/are-you-struggling-to-increase-the-profit-of-your-liquor-store) in their traffic.

Sub-domain & Sub-[directory](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/226/how-to-get-application-directory-using-c-sharp-csharp) are two most common term in the [world of web](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/113740/what-design-trends-are-dominating-the-world-of-web-development-this-year)-hosting. Sub-domain & sub-directory empowers you to add more [functionality](https://www.mindstick.com/blog/136/using-watermark-functionality-in-textbox-by-jquery) to our website. By creating subdomains, We can insert [keywords](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/12899/how-to-spot-if-you-re-optimizing-for-the-wrong-keywords) into our URL without creating and registering a new website.

For example we can have a Articles related to [software development](https://www.mindstick.com/services/erp-software-development) or blog at sub-domain that would be like:

SoftwareDevelopment.domain.com

Using Sub-directory we can have separate website at different directory of

[your website](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/12990/ssl-certificate-why-you-need-one-for-your-website) like:

- Domain.com/SoftwareDevelopment

##### The organized nature of subdomains further improves user experience.

We can maximize our geo-targeted pages by creating them as subdomains

instead of subfolders (ex: " uk.yourbusiness.com" instead of

"www.yourbusiness.com/uk/").

This one concept can help any individual like you to extend their hosting

features & have more [features added](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/466/new-features-added-in-dot-net-framework-4-0) with our website.

• Root domain: Domain.com

• Sub-domain: SoftwareDevelopment.domain.com

• Subdirectory: Domain.com/SoftwareDevelopment
