You can get to any page on the site by using the root domain address.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">It was established as part of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cloudflare.com\/en-in\/learning\/dns\/what-is-dns\/\" class=\"external\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">DNS<\/a> (Domain-name servers). It&#8217;s formed by combining a second-level domain and a top-level domain to create a complete web address.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">It&#8217;s the first component of the URL before the .com or .org and equivalent of the extension at the end of your email address. When assessing the size of the inbound link profile, it is preferable to count <\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">linking root domai<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">n rather than<\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0linking URL<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0of website pages.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Examples_of_The_Root_Domains\"><\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Examples of The Root Domains<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The most popular TLD are: .com, .co, .org, and so on, which are also called\u00a0<\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">generic TLDS<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">.

It appears before the root domain and is separated from the domain name by a period.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">It&#8217;s frequently used to store data that the main domain can&#8217;t manage. If you own google.com, for example, you can have subdomains like images.google.com and mail.google.com. This increases the number of images you can store.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Once you have a proper domain name for your website, you can create as many subdomains as you want. For example, if you want to add a support subpage on your main page, you can keep the domain name as support.domain.com.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Examples_of_Subdomain\"><\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Examples of Subdomain<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Blog.hubspot.com<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Hosting.namecheap.com<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">support.google.com<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Root_domain_Vs_Subdomain\"><\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Root domain Vs Subdomain<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Registration:\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Subdomains are generally free and simple to create. A subdomain does not require any additional purchases. Tell your hosting company your preferred subdomain name, and you can use it right away on your website. On the other hand, the root domains must be purchased through a registrar such as Hostgator, Godaddy, Namecheap, and so on.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Use:\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Businesses commonly use subdomains to deploy different website designs and functionality or to test a new site. On the other hand, the root domain is the foundation of your internet brand. It&#8217;s needed to represent your brand when you first start your online business.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Functionality:\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">For the Subdomain to function, it must be linked to the main domain. You can have several subdomains. Subdomains are not required for the root domains to exist, but they can be acquired separately.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Conclusion<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">We hope now you understand what a root domain is.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">To make it even easier for you, the root domains are the website address you register for your websites, and people can use it to access your sites.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">For example, google.com is the root domain of Google.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">But keep in mind that a website can have a single root domain but the same website can have multiple sub-domain names.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is a Root domain?
