Article - Sub-domains at Grey Pebbles

What is a Domain?
AKA "website address" or "URL", the domain name of a website is the ENTIRE website address (for example www.greypebbles.com). A domain name must be unique and after being registered needs to be renewed on a yearly basis.

What is a Sub-domain?
Sub-domains are commonly used to divide portions of a website into categories. A sub-domain is the part of the website address before the domain name.

For example: http://support.greypebbles.com.
In this example “support” is a sub-domain of the domain “http://www.greypebbles.com”.

A subdomain, unlike a domain name, is not registered anywhere because it is associated with a domain name only. Sub-domains at Grey Pebbles are free to any client currently on our Platinum and Gold hosting packages.

Why are Sub-domains used?
Sub-domain makes the URLs shorter and nicer.
It allows website owners to categorize the content of the website.
It also helps in improving the search engine rankings as most of the search engines treat the subdomain as a separate website address. (Your website stats will include the statistics of the sub-domains.)
One of the advantages of using subdomain is that the website can be broken down into smaller pieces without losing the brand image associated with the domain name.
Sub-domains can be easily moved to another server if the category gets very popular.
No extra charge for subdomain setup.
