Introduction

Subdomains are an excellent way to organize your website and create distinct sections for specific purposes, such as a blog, store, or support portal, all while maintaining the same domain. The Webuzo Control Panel simplifies the process of creating subdomains, allowing you to manage and structure your website efficiently. Whether you’re building new content sections or testing a new project, creating subdomains can enhance your website’s usability and navigation. In this guide, we’ll show you how to easily create and manage subdomains in Webuzo hosting.

What are Subdomains?

A subdomain is a part of a larger domain, used to organize and navigate different sections of a website under the same primary domain. It functions as an extension of the main domain, typically created to host specific content or services, such as a blog, shop, or support center, without needing a separate domain name. For example, in the subdomain “blog.example.com,” “blog” is the subdomain, and “example.com” is the main domain.

Subdomains are useful for segmenting a website’s content, improving organization, and enhancing user experience by providing dedicated areas for different purposes. They are also commonly used for testing or staging environments where web developers can experiment without affecting the main site. Creating a subdomain does not require additional hosting resources, making it a cost-effective way to expand a website’s functionality.
