Free Subdomains: A Game Changer for Store Management

28 April 2024

When you visit a website, you may want to check the dashboard, and when you click on that section, the URL tends to change. This is not because you left the website but because you visited a specific section under the same domain. An example is visiting the pharmacy.ng, then you want to check the blog for some how-to guides, the URL changes to blog.pharmacy.ng immediately after that section is clicked. However, you are still under the pharmacy.ng domain

In this article, we’ll take you through what a subdomain is and how it can be used for your business.

What is a Sub-domain?

A sub-domain is the extra information added to the beginning of a website domain name. Usually, a domain name is categorized into two main parts — The Top Level Domain (TLD) and Second Level Domain (SLD). The TLD is a domain name that ends with .com or .org and the SLD is the unique name of the brand/website. 

The subdomain name is what comes before the SLD. An example is when you create a store in pharmacy.ng, your subdomain name is yourbusinessname.pharmacy.ng which serves as a website for your business and your customers can shop from anywhere across the nation/globe.

How to use a sub-domain for your business

By creating a store on pharmacy.ng, you have implemented a subdomain and you can create different sections for your store without having to create different subdomain names. This will also build a sense of organization for your business and your customers will find it easy to locate whatever they need in one space. 

You’ll agree with me that this is a step worth taking especially since it’ll improve your customer experience.
