Using multiple domain names for one or several projects helps you achieve flexibility and differentiate between projects' directions. With the number of customized subdomains on Short.io, it's possible to add multiple short domains for one project and easily manage them from one place.

Promote lines of business with multiple domains

Say you own an online shop that additionally has blog, feedback, and sales pages. Promoting the pages under one domain may take place, but this solution fits when there is no chanсe to add several domains to one account. With Short.io, you have this possibility. That's why we would recommend adding separate domains for every direction of the project.

For example, your online shop is based on the domain magic.com. By adding subdomains that are associated with specific lines, you may increase user engagement. Just as an example, you can use:

  1. blog.magic.com — it's where your blog lives;
  2. feedback.magic.com — it's where your customers leave feedback so that other visitors make sure that your brand is trustworthy;
  3. sales.magic.com — it's where discount items live.

By the way, adding a subdomain to your main domain is absolutely free. If you want to make the domains shorter, you can buy domains separately for every business line.
