AmanahStudios Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 How do I do that? I know how to forward blog.mydomain.com to mydomain.com/blog....but i don't want it to appear to users as such....i'd rather it appear as blog.mydomain.com Is that possible? Link to comment
AmanahStudios Posted April 25, 2021 Author Share Posted April 25, 2021 Also, a related issue If I have a different domain other than mydomain.com, can i redirect it to different subdomains? For instance, if I have mydomainblog.com and i want it to redirect to blog.mydomain.com ... would that be possible as well? Link to comment

It's only necessary to do this if you host the blog on a separate hosting platform to the rest of the website. A subdomain won't offer any SEO advantages. About me: I've been a SQSP User for 18 yrs.

AndynewbieH Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 did you manage to do this? i want to have a sub-domain as a landing page so the customer only sees that URL and then a link to the main site within that landing page. Link to comment

Subdomains are necessary when you need to host parts of your online solution on different platforms. For example, Squarespace host their website on www.squarespace.com, they host their forum on Invision Community using the subdomain forum.squarespace.com and they host a blog on a separate website using the domain newsroom.squarespace.com. If you want to host your landing page on a different platform like Unbounce then a subdomain will be perfect and will be very easy to set up. However, subdomains make no sense for use with pages that are hosted on the same platform. For this reason, Squarespace doesn't provide a feature that allows you to use a subdomain for a page on the same website. Instead, you can link to the landing page by referencing the page slug, like mywebsite.com/landingpage. About me: I've been a SQSP User for 18 yrs.
