Restaurant Domain Name

For regular followers of this blog, you’ve probably gotten a good understanding of domain names and subdomains. I have discussed this in length in previous articles. I have also written on specifics such as salon domain names and retail store domain names. This article will highlight things you should consider when choosing a restaurant domain name.

What are Subdomains and why use them?

What are subdomains? Subdomains are extensions you can add to your primary domain name. For example, if you have a domain called mywebsite.com, a subdomain could be store.mywebsite.com.
