IC : Weblogs : venus_flames : "Website building - Subdomains"
Website building - Subdomains (4)

Hi,
Can anyone explain to me how subdomains work please. I would like to make some changes to my website and am wondering if introducing subdomains will help make some order of the site, but am not entirely sure how to do it.
Any help would be gratefully recieved, thanks

Subdomains give you totally different websites, so if you've got www.mysite.org and you create a subdomain venus.mysite.org, that's a different website (or, at least, it normally is - you could point it to the same place but there's not usually much point).
Bigger organisations often use subdomains for different websites (maybe for different departments) or other uses (you might have a forum.mysite.org, a wiki.mysite.org and a mail.mysite.org).
If you want to create several different websites all under the same main domain, subdomains are a good way to do it. If you just want to organise the content of one website differently, they probably aren't. |

Hi
Assumming it's the funfashion site in your profile I've had a look and I can't see any obvious reason why subdomains would be relevant in this case. In fact they would be very difficult to implement even if they were relevant because your site is running in a frameset with a different server being pulled into the main address.
What that means is that your www.funfashion.co.uk site (hosted in the UK by Fasthosts) is merely acting as a container for www.funfashion.bravehost.com (hosted in Canada by Bravenet). That address in fact is a subdomain of bravehost.com so any further subdomains would be a bit complicated!
This arrangement has a number of disadvantages, particularly for search engine rankings. Bit hard to go into here. Memo me if you need any further advice.
cheers

Thank you all for posting. I now understand about subdomains, but it hasn't really helped my plight. Back to the drawing board lol.
Thanks again.
