Subdomain

Updated August 2026 · Nabee Studio

A subdomain is a named section of your domain that lives before the main name — like app.yourbusiness.com or blog.yourbusiness.com. It lets you run separate areas or products under one brand.

Why does a subdomain matter to your business?

Subdomains let you organize different parts of your presence — a marketing site, a web app, a help center — under one recognizable domain. Choosing when to use a subdomain versus a folder has small SEO and branding implications worth thinking through.

At Nabee, subdomain setup is part of structuring a product cleanly, decided with your growth in mind. Whether a web app lives on a subdomain or elsewhere is a deliberate choice, not an accident of setup.

A concrete example

A business might keep marketing on the main domain and run its web app on app. so the two stay cleanly separated while sharing one brand. That structure keeps each area focused without splitting your identity.
