What is my sub domain?

Published in Domain Names 2 mins read

Determining your subdomain requires context. I don't have a subdomain. You need to specify which domain you're referring to in order for me to tell you what its subdomain is (if it has one).

To clarify, a subdomain is a prefix added to your primary domain name. For example, if your domain is example.com, possible subdomains could include blog.example.com, shop.example.com, or support.example.com.

Since I don't know what domain you are referring to, I can't tell you what its subdomains are. You would need to provide that information.

How to Find Your Subdomain(s) (if you own the domain):

If you own the domain and are trying to determine what subdomains you have created, you can usually find this information in one of the following places:

  • Your DNS Records: This is the most definitive place. Your DNS records, typically managed through your domain registrar (e.g., GoDaddy, Namecheap) or a DNS hosting provider (e.g., Cloudflare), will list all the subdomains you have configured. Look for A, CNAME, or other resource records that specify a subdomain.

  • Your Web Hosting Control Panel: Many web hosting providers (e.g., SiteGround, Bluehost, HostGator) provide a control panel (like cPanel or Plesk) that lists your configured subdomains.

  • Your Website Analytics: Tools like Google Analytics might show traffic to specific subdomains if you have tracking enabled.

Example:

Let's say you own the domain mywebsite.com and you want to know if you have a subdomain called blog.

  1. Check Your DNS Records: Log in to your domain registrar and navigate to the DNS settings. Look for an entry like:

    • blog.mywebsite.com. A 192.0.2.1 (This maps the subdomain to an IP address)
    • blog.mywebsite.com. CNAME mywebsite.com. (This points the subdomain to the main domain)
  2. Check Your Hosting Control Panel: Log in to your hosting account and look for a "Subdomains" or "Domains" section. It should list any subdomains you have created.

Without knowing which domain you are asking about, I cannot tell you its subdomain.
