.church domain names became available this month. This has reminded me of the importance of picking a good domain name for your church website.

Multiple MeaningsThere are two distinct meanings of the word subdomain when discussing domain names: one technical meaning and one popular meaning. It’s important to understand both so that when others speak with either one in mind, you’ll know what they mean.Technically, in the Domain Name System (DNS) a subdomain is any subdivision of a larger domain. In this understanding, in this understanding, because the top-level domains (TLDs) like.com and.net divide up the Internet, they are the highest level subdomain. Domains like amazon.com or us.gov and the next level of subdomain, and so on and so on. It is conceived of as a hierarchy, like the hierarchy of divisions on your computer hard drive.In popular parlance, subdomain refers specifically to the level of division after domains. Coming after TLDs and domains, subdomains forms the third level of the hierarchy. Notice that in Uniform Resource Locators (URLs), the TLDs are on the far right, and each subsequent level down is one step to the left.
So you would expect to find subdomains to the left of the domain name. Some people use the term vanity domain to refer to a subdomain. Especially because the term vanity domain has a particular meaning with regard to unintended use of Country code TLDs (cTLDs), it is suggested that the names be kept distinct.What’s a Subdomain Good For?With a subdomain, you can clearly indicate important subdivisions of your site, like departments, functions, or services.
