Website owners use Subdomain for a lot of reasons, including but not limited to:

• Redirect Subdomain’s web pages if it has moved to a new Subdomain location. For example, you can redirect sell.mydomain.com to shop.mydomain.com.
• Allows you to organise your existing website into a separate site. Making it easier for visitors to remember and accessing these site pages.
• Forward visitors to specific sections on your website. Or, directly back to your main site. For example, main.mydomain.com to mydomain.com.
