What is a subdomain?

Date Submitted: 3-20-2013

A subdomain is an easy way to create a memorable Web address for unique content areas of your site. For example, you could create a subdomain for pictures on your site called "pics" that is accessible through the URL pics.example.com in addition to www.example.com/pics.

For more information, see Managing a Domain Name's Subdomains.
