Subdomain Subdomain

Subdomain - Definition and Overview

In the DNS hierarchy, a subdomain is a domain that is part of a larger domain name. A DNS hierarchy consists of the root-level domain at the top, underneath which are the top-level domains, followed by second-level domains and finally subdomains.

For example, in the domain name "apples.fruit.com", "apples" is a subdomain of the larger second-level domain "fruit.com"
