Pros and cons of using a subdomain
Like the factors that take place over the course of life, making the decision to generate a subdomain will directly depend on the purpose for which it is used.
disadvantages
- Subdomains end up being alternate pages or related to the main domain, so their URLs tend to be long and difficult to memorize.
- Despite being based on a main page, they sometimes tend to lose the main theme when they are not centered by the host domain.
- Similarly to the previous point, deviating from the main theme will cause you to lose the credibility of the content.
- The developer acquires more administrative work, based on the security and updates it needs to perform on subdomains as well as the main one.
- If the contract with the primary domain is not renewed, the subscribed subdomains will also stop working automatically.
Benefit
- Although they are sites connected to a main or host domain, they are able to behave as completely separate and independent pages.
- There is no limit to the number of subdomains that can be created under the same domain.
- While it directly affects the ranking of your domain, it has the ability to present itself and be shared as a totally separate site.
- Creating a large or small number of subdomains will not affect the cost of the primary domain.
