What is a sub-domain?
A sub-domain is any name you choose usually as a prefix of a domain name. For example: sub-domain.MainDomain.Com, where sub-domain is placed before the first dot of a web address/URL. Another example: MyStore.MainDomain.Com, where MyStore is a sub-domain. Some of the major drawbacks to have your website running under a sub-domain are – you do not have access to all the hosting features; and when you transfer your hosting service to a new one, you will not be able to use the same web address/URL, where the main domain name does not belong to you. Worse, all the traffic/followers and search engine placements you might have built up will also be gone. As opposed to your own domain name, which is unique and belongs to you regardless where your hosting service may be. Visitors/traffic and search engine placements will always be following you (the same scenario as your telephone number).
Although any website may run under a sub-domain, but for less than US $10.00 per domain name registration, we highly suggest that you reserve your own unique identity for your business. You will also get Free Extras with Every Domain Name.

I’m going to coat-tail on what “Very Evolved” said… The way you connect to your audience is… Know who you are writing to. You need to pick a Target Audience and stick to them. You wouldn’t write to an audience of 14yr olds the same way you would write to an audience of 60yr olds.

While this subject can be very touchy for most people, my opinion is that there has to be a middle or common ground that we all can find. I do appreciate that youve added relevant and intelligent commentary here though. Thank you!
Hi. I wanted to drop you a quick note to express my thanks. I’ve been following your blog for a month or so and have picked up a ton of good information as well as enjoyed the way you’ve structured your site. I am attempting to run my own blog but I think its too general and I want to focus more on smaller topics. Being all things to all people is not all that its cracked up to be.
