Okay so I want to create one website like for example www.iwi.com and then have sub domains for other business like www.iwi/transcription.com www.iwi/passiveincome.com www.iwi/howtomakemoneyonline.com okay okay so maybe it wont be with a slash / I am new to all this. The reason I want to do it this way is to cut down on hosting fee's? Because I have about 3 or 4 or more ideas rolling around up stairs and I have very limited funds.. My question is... Is this a good idea? Will I be able to market each sub domain as its own page when people do a search in the search engines etc?
I think you should create a home page that will link to all sub-domains and then create a sub-domains like this : www.transcription.iwi.com, or you have just have them inside different directories and use it like this www.iwi.com/transcription/ If you are using Cpanel in your website then this will be helpful for you: http://www.geeks4share.com/category/tutorial/cpanel/
if you want to build completely different sites, then use subdomains. but if yuo want to stick with the same niche and just want to add different topics under the same site, then sub-folders would be a good idea. (site.com/foldername). just to let yuo know, subdomains are considered as a new site where subfolders are considered part of the same site. subfolders are better for seo also. now all depends on your project
sultanofseo appreciate the response that is exactly the sort of information I was looking for. Do any of the major hosting sites charge extra for sub domains -- I assume not?
yesterday i created one website like (eggshot.com) and also created the sub directories but i want to know about how i combine sub directories like (eggshot.com/socialmedia)
