For example, you are now on the engagebay.com domain. The Domain Name System (DNS) links the domain name to a specific IP address.<\/p>\n<p>Conversely, a subdomain is a prefix that appears before the parent domain and after the \u2018@\u2019 symbol in email addresses. Websites often use subdomains to route traffic to another IP address while maintaining access to the main domain.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, in the email address support@query.business.com, \u2018query.\u2019 is the subdomain part of the main domain, \u2018business.com.\u2019<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-63363\" src=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/domain-look.png\" alt=\"how an email subdomain looks\" width=\"689\" height=\"149\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/domain-look.png 1600w, https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/domain-look-300x65.png 300w, https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/domain-look-1024x221.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/domain-look-768x166.png 768w, https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/domain-look-1536x331.png 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 689px) 100vw, 689px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The question remains: what distinguishes an email subdomain from an email domain?<\/p>\n<p>The most popular method for sending and receiving business emails is through email domains. Using a @yourdomain.com address makes your company appear far more professional than using a @gmail.com or @yahoo.com address.<\/p>\n<p>Many firms use their root domain, or primary domain, for business correspondence, making it simple to verify that the email is from the organization.<\/p>\n<p>However, this approach can impact <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/improve-email-deliverability-rates\/\">email deliverability<\/a> and reputation if not managed properly, especially if different types of emails, such as transactional and promotional, are sent from the same domain without precise segmentation.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, if all <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/business-email-format\/\">business emails<\/a> from a company are sent from abcxyz.com, it can lead to deliverability issues.<\/p>\n<p>An email subdomain, separated by a dot\/period, is added before the main domain and is used to send emails instead of the root domain. This allows for better segmentation and management of different types of emails.<\/p>\n\r\n            <script>\r\n                var EhAPI = EhAPI || {}; \r\n                EhAPI.after_load = function() {\r\n                    EhAPI.set_account('ktb76s1540fl2hnhbqnrtd2npb', 'our');\r\n                    EhAPI.execute('rules');\r\n                };\r\n                (function(d, s, f) {\r\n                    var sc = document.createElement(s);\r\n                    sc.type = 'text\/javascript';\r\n                    sc.async = true;\r\n                    sc.src = f;\r\n                    var m = document.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];\r\n                    m.parentNode.insertBefore(sc, m);   \r\n                })(document, 'script', '\/\/d2p078bqz5urf7.cloudfront.net\/jsapi\/ehform.js');\r\n            <\/script>\r\n            <script>\r\n                function waitForEhForms() {\r\n                    const interval = 100; \/\/ Check every 100ms\r\n                    const checkAndLoad = () => {\r\n                        const params = new URLSearchParams(window.location.search);\r\n                        const elementorPreviewParam = params.get('elementor-preview');\r\n                        if (elementorPreviewParam && typeof EhForms !== 'undefined' && typeof EhForms.loadForms === 'function') {\r\n                            EhForms.loadForms();\r\n                            console.log('EhForms.loadForms() called successfully.');\r\n                        } else {\r\n                            setTimeout(checkAndLoad, interval);\r\n                        }\r\n                    };\r\n                    checkAndLoad();\r\n                }\r\n                \/\/ Call the function\r\n                waitForEhForms();\r\n            <\/script>\r\n        <div class='engage-hub-form-embed' id='eh_form_5161654467690496' data-id='5161654467690496'><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Benefits_of_Using_Email_Subdomains\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #339966;\"><strong>Benefits of Using Email Subdomains<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you think tracking and organizing are the only benefits of email subdomains, you\u2019re missing out on significant opportunities.<\/p>\n<p>Internet Service Providers (ISPs) treat email subdomains as separate entities from the root domain. This move significantly enhances your email deliverability by reducing the chances of your emails ending up in spam folders.<\/p>\n<p>Many companies are shifting to using multiple subdomains to manage their email communication better. This strategy helps you organize your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/email-list-quality-email-deliverability\/\">email list<\/a> more effectively, streamline communication channels and strategies, and avoid spam folder issues due to multiple emails from the same subdomain.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s a deeper look.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>Improve deliverability<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>How do subdomains improve your email deliverability?<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s simple. They make different emails from the same company look like they\u2019re coming from other entities through different subdomains. So, if your emails end up in the recipient\u2019s spam folder, you might not be doing it right.<\/p>\n<p>Get multiple subdomains and segment them based on different aspects of your company, such as promotions and PR, order updates, customer support, and so on.<\/p>\n<p>This way, you enhance not only your subdomain reputation but also the effectiveness of your email communication.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>Organize your subdomains<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>As mentioned, creating subdomains for different communication aspects is a surefire way to better organize and streamline your communication. This will help you keep your company\u2019s services distinct and organized.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>Track and analyze<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Since your communication is well segregated and organized, you can get data from different segments more accurately. This can enhance your efficiency in reading data, tracking performance, and performing better analytics.<\/p>\n<p>This way, you learn what went wrong and where in less time than it takes to deal with cumulative data.<\/p>\n<p>You can also enhance your content by seeing which type of email content performed better and with which audience.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>Control sender reputation<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Maintaining a positive <a href=\"https:\/\/www.data-axle.com\/resources\/blog\/email-sender-reputation-101-a-comprehensive-guide\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">sender reputation<\/a> is essential for email deliverability, and it\u2019s all for good reasons. Whether or not you\u2019re using subdomains for your company will impact your sender&#8217;s reputation.<\/p>\n<p>This happens because these shield your parent domain by bearing the brunt of being blocklisted in case of a damaged reputation.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>Improve security<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>In today\u2019s cybersecurity environment, it is crucial to boost email security. Using a unique domain name for emails allows specific security measures to enhance email data defense safely.<\/p>\n<p>Other email authentication techniques, such as DKIM, DMARC, and SPF, become more accessible when using a subdomain.<\/p>\n<p>These protocols confirm that your messages are genuine. And that they have not originated from some fake domain. It is common in spam and phishing scams, making the sender\u2019s security and recipients more secure.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>Separate email marketing from central communication<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Organizing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/marketing\/email-marketing\">email marketing<\/a> activities through subdomains helps avoid negative associations.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, if a subdomain is underperforming and harms its reputation, your central communication channel, which is your parent domain and other healthy subdomains, remains protected.<\/p>\n<p>Through this segregation, there is a guarantee that the primary domain for each brand does not compromise the other\u2019s perception. This builds trust and credibility among the audience.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"fasc-button fasc-size-medium fasc-type-flat fasc-rounded-medium ico-fa fasc-ico-before fa-arrow-circle-right\" style=\"background-color: #33809e; color: #ffffff;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/domain-reputation\/\">Read also: What Is Domain Reputation and How Can You Improve It?<\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Set_Up_an_Email_Subdomain\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #339966;\"><strong>How to Set Up an Email Subdomain<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-63365\" src=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Setting-up-an-email-subdomain.jpeg\" alt=\"Email subdomain set up\" width=\"588\" height=\"331\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Setting-up-an-email-subdomain.jpeg 2334w, https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Setting-up-an-email-subdomain-300x169.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Setting-up-an-email-subdomain-1024x576.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Setting-up-an-email-subdomain-768x432.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Setting-up-an-email-subdomain-1536x864.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Setting-up-an-email-subdomain-2048x1152.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 588px) 100vw, 588px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Now that you know how subdomains can benefit your business\u2019s bottom line, it\u2019s easier to understand how to set it up. In this section, we will examine the essentials of setting up an email subdomain.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>Choose a subdomain<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>First and foremost, pick a name that resonates with the use case and reflects your brand identity well.<\/p>\n<p>Your subdomain can be creative while staying in line with the purpose it\u2019s going to serve, such as promotion or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/ecommerce-transactional-email-optimization\/\">transactional emails<\/a>. Such as &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/email.yourdomain.com\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>email<\/em>.yourdomain.com<\/a>&#8221; or &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/news.yourdomain.com\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>news<\/em>.yourdomain.com<\/a>&#8220;.<\/p>\n<p>After that, you need to set up authentication protocols from the beginning to ensure your emails find their proper and intended path.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>Access DNS settings<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Log in to your domain registrar or DNS provider&#8217;s dashboard.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>Create a CNAME record<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Come up with a CNAME that aligns with the context of your preferred subdomain. CNAME records allow you to alias one name to another. The term CNAME refers to the Canonical Name. It points a name to another name instead of to an IP.<\/p>\n<p>For example, using Google Workspace, the CNAME might point to &#8220;ghs.googlehosted.com.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>Update MX records<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>This step is to edit or add the MX (Mail Exchange) records to point to the server responsible for your mail. Your email service provider generally supplies this and helps ensure your emails to your subdomain reach the correct destinations.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>Best practices for integrating with email service providers<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><em>Verify Ownership: <\/em><\/strong>Before you set up your subdomain, some email services will ask you to verify your parent domain. They generally provide instructions there, so follow along.<\/li>\n<li><strong><em>Configure SPF and DKIM<\/em><\/strong>: Set up SPF (Sender Policy Framework) and DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) records, which are crucial for securing your email and improving deliverability.<\/li>\n<li><strong><em>Test Configuration: <\/em><\/strong>Now that you\u2019ve set up the whole thing, don\u2019t forget to test-run it. Check its configuration to ensure everything appears as intended. You can also find some tools that these email providers will suggest. That way, you can validate your setup.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>Additional tips<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><em>Backup Existing DNS Records:<\/em><\/strong> Backing up your existing DNS records can help you with unintended troubleshooting. So before you make any changes and your previous configurations are lost for good, make sure to back up your existing DNS records.<\/li>\n<li><strong><em>Monitor Propagation:<\/em><\/strong> A plethora of DNS lookup tools can help you track the changes you\u2019ve made to appear globally. This propagation usually takes forty-eight hours.<\/li>\n<li><strong><em>Seek Professional Help if Needed:<\/em><\/strong> When you can\u2019t crack the case, seek out those who know it better.

Let\u2019s check out some best practices for you to manage your email subdomains better:<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>Segmenting different types of emails<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Identify email categories:<\/strong> See how many email types your firm has, such as marketing, notifications, support, transactional, order updates, etc.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Use subdomains for segmentation:<\/strong> Assign these types a suitable name for their purpose. For example, your subdomain name can be \u2018promotion.yourdomain.com\u2019 for promotional emails.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Implement clear naming conventions:<\/strong> A name that immediately states the purpose of the emails is the only one suitable for a subdomain name.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>Regular monitoring and maintenance<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Monitor deliverability:<\/strong> Regularly check the deliverability performance to avoid potential issues that can become bigger later.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Audit email lists: <\/strong>Regularly review and clean up your email lists to remove inactive or unengaged subscribers, improving overall email performance. Keep sweeping and cleaning your email list. Skim through and find the ones that do not interact or seem to have been dormant addresses. Edit them out. You need results from active users.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Update SPF and DKIM records:<\/strong> Monitor and update SPF and DKIM records periodically to keep your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/email-authentication\/\">email authentication<\/a> and security robust.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>Common mistakes to avoid<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Overcomplicating subdomains:<\/strong> Be mindful of crowding your email subdomain list. Keep your repository of email subdomains clean and sorted. That way, you can access, organize, and manage them better.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Neglecting DNS maintenance:<\/strong> Another common mistake is ignoring DNS maintenance. Your deliverability will likely suffer if you ignore crucial DNS monitoring and updates.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Skipping testing:<\/strong> Testing new setups regularly and ensuring everything is as intended can save a lot of time in the future.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>Documentation and onboarding<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Maintain documentation:<\/strong> Keep the records and documents of your subdomain in hand and safe. This is a crucial precautionary habit that helps troubleshoot and maintain a healthy email setup.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Training and onboarding: <\/strong>Ensure that everyone involved in managing email subdomains knows what they\u2019re doing. Their training shouldn\u2019t be ignored.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>Review and adapt<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Regular reviews:<\/strong> Take frequent reviews from your testers and see if there are areas for improvement.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Stay informed:<\/strong> Keep informed on the email subdomain setup through newer updates.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve well-versed yourself in the do\u2019s and don\u2019ts in email subdomains, there\u2019s nothing to stop you.

This, in turn, will ensure that Wallapop can send the appropriate messages to each segment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>Blumiblum: Dedicated subdomains for newsletters<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Subdomains:<\/strong> newsletter.blumiblum.com, news.blumiblum.com<\/li>\n<li><strong>Strategy:<\/strong> For its newsletters, Blumiblum has separate subsections run under subdomains like newsletter.blumiblum.com and news.blumiblum.com.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Outcome:<\/strong> It also helps Blumiblum evenly separate the newsletter&#8217;s operations and records and track chosen subscribers well enough to give them relevant content.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These case studies clearly show the possible ways of employing email subdomains and their positive impact on email-based practices.<\/p>\n<p>The clever use of subdomains can help companies achieve better conversation rates and enhance their business outcomes in terms of segregation, customization, or classification of emails.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"fasc-button fasc-size-medium fasc-type-flat fasc-rounded-medium ico-fa fasc-ico-before fa-arrow-circle-right\" style=\"background-color: #33809e; color: #ffffff;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/intro-to-email-deliverability\/\">Read also: Avoiding the Spam Folder &#8212; An Intro to Email Deliverability<\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #339966;\"><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Email subdomains offer firms a powerful edge in managing their email systems.

What is the difference between an email subdomain and an email alias?<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>An email subdomain is a part of the main email domain assigned for a specific purpose, such as marketing. However, an email alias is another email address directly linked to your main email.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>2. How do email subdomains impact email deliverability?<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Subdomains in emails can enhance the deliverability rate since they separate the email traffic, increase the sender\u2019s reputation, and foster trust in the email services.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>3. Can I set up multiple email subdomains under one main domain?<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Administrators also have the option to create several email subdomains for one main domain to differentiate the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/types-of-email-that-boost-email-marketing-roi\/\">types of emails<\/a> and their functions.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>4. What are the security implications of using email subdomains?<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Email subdomains help improve security by segregating email traffic; however, configuration of DNS and authentication is critical.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>5. How do you troubleshoot common issues with email subdomains?<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Request your service provider to verify the DNS records, double-check email client settings with your provider, and check email logs for troubleshooting.<\/p>\n\r\n            <script>\r\n                var EhAPI = EhAPI || {}; \r\n                EhAPI.after_load = function() {\r\n                    EhAPI.set_account('ktb76s1540fl2hnhbqnrtd2npb', 'our');\r\n                    EhAPI.execute('rules');\r\n                };\r\n                (function(d, s, f) {\r\n                    var sc = document.createElement(s);\r\n                    sc.type = 'text\/javascript';\r\n                    sc.async = true;\r\n                    sc.src = f;\r\n                    var m = document.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];\r\n                    m.parentNode.insertBefore(sc, m);   \r\n                })(document, 'script', '\/\/d2p078bqz5urf7.cloudfront.net\/jsapi\/ehform.js');\r\n            <\/script>\r\n            <script>\r\n                function waitForEhForms() {\r\n                    const interval = 100; \/\/ Check every 100ms\r\n                    const checkAndLoad = () => {\r\n                        const params = new URLSearchParams(window.location.search);\r\n                        const elementorPreviewParam = params.get('elementor-preview');\r\n                        if (elementorPreviewParam && typeof EhForms !== 'undefined' && typeof EhForms.loadForms === 'function') {\r\n                            EhForms.loadForms();\r\n                            console.log('EhForms.loadForms() called successfully.');\r\n                        } else {\r\n                            setTimeout(checkAndLoad, interval);\r\n                        }\r\n                    };\r\n                    checkAndLoad();\r\n                }\r\n                \/\/ Call the function\r\n                waitForEhForms();\r\n            <\/script>\r\n        <div class='engage-hub-form-embed' id='eh_form_6268678992035840' data-id='6268678992035840'><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Email remains a top marketing channel, with 79% of marketers ranking it among their top three tools.
