I have a web hosting package that includes 20 sub domains but I can't see the point in them What is the difference between having a sub domain such as http://www.metalworking.ultimatehandyman.co.uk/ or http://www.ultimatehandyman.co.uk/metalworking/ Is there a valid reason for having sub domains? Thanks UHM
Google sees subdomain as a different site and it's more easier to market different sites under the same brand.
well there is if you are lets say running an online store or have large databases such as this forum.... In my case we have surch.com for the main core to our surch engine but we use ppc.surch.com to run our ppc engine on another server. this allows for us to increase the speed of our surch results and not bear down one array of servers... also if our PPC goes down our engine doesnt.. there are literally tons of reasons to use subdomains from a server load and bandwidth persepctive not to mention what andriusk is talking about. hope that helps...
Ok, Thanks for that. I understand why it makes sense now surchin, that is a very nice looking site- well done
