Sub
Domain
A sub domain is an add-on to a site. The purpose of sub
domains are to separate that particular page from the
rest of a website.
A sub domain page would usually not be listed among the
pages of the principle sites’ navigation bar (site page
links), but a sub domain directory page may possibly be
included on a site navigation page. Often sub domain
pages are used for creating directories.
A blog is a type of sub domain. It is a separate entity
from the regular website that is accessed from that
website. It provided information that is totally
separate from the principle website. The content of a
sub domain may be directly related to the content of a
website domain. However, this is not always the case. In
some cases the content of a sub domain is not the same
as the regular website.
For instance, a website could touch on depression issues
and then have a separate sub domain that discusses just
medications. Sub domains can be added to a website in a
number of ways. The most common way to add sub domain
pages and sub domain blogs is to follow the directions
given by the web site hosting company.
Usually the principle website to which sub domains are
added would be accessed in the web hosting control
panel. This is the place where you make all the
necessary changes that you need to make pertaining to
your website. There is another way to add sub domains,
or at least content to your sub domain pages. You can
upload them using what is called an FTP client. This
particular program would be downloaded onto your
computer.
