Set Up New Subdomain

Estimated Time of Completion: 2 hours

A subdomain is a domain that is part of the larger domain or website you currently have. 

So, think about your current domain – something like www.abccompany.com right? 

Well, a subdomain is where you set-up a new version of the www. And instead of using www. You could use something like members.abccompany.com or shop.abccompany.com.

The reason you would want to do this is because each subdomain is seen as a new website essentially. So if you have your main website on www. You could then have an online training portal set-up on members.abccompany.com which could have wordpress on it and other things. This wouldn’t impact the www. Main website at all.

Then, if you use ClickFunnels, you might want to set that up on another domain so all those landing pages might sit on hub. Or register. Or something like that.

You’ll basically need to request this task if you’re wanting to build a membership portal or if you’re wanting to use ClickFunnels on your own domain. This is all done inside your hosting platform.
