subdomain format question

1.4K followers

A while back, I created a subdomain on WA and the format was like this: subdomain.domain.com. (example: http://flightsimulatorreview.randomlycreativecorner.info/ where flightsimulatorreview is the subdomain for randomlycreativecorner)

Today, I created a subdomain and the format was domain.com/subdomain. (http://homeschoolingintheburbs.info/doterraessentialoils where doterraessentialoils is the subdomain)

Does anyone know which format will have more visibility on search engines, bring more visitors and/or how to create a subdomain using the first format?

I am pretty sure that I would rather have my subdomain be doterraessentialoils.homeschoolingintheburbs.info instead of homeschoolingintheburbs.info/doterraessentialoils

Thank you, Becky. You saved me time in asking the question in live chat. Phew!..^_~

If you click on Domains (instead of Websites) in the blue bar in Websites & Hosting you'll see Add A Subdomain (above Create A Website) which will set up a subdomain instead of subdirectory. Rich.

Thank you Rich and Caylynn. I will try following Rich's instructions and write about my success.

That was easy! I must have done that before on my other subdomains. Thanks!

Now, my problem is that it won't let me set up wordpress on it like I did with other subdomains.
