Manage Multiple Subdomain Redirects from One Place
As your product grows, subdomains proliferate. Blog on one host, help docs on another, shop on a SaaS platform. Managing redirects across all of these subdomains used to mean touching multiple servers. Not anymore.
The subdomain sprawl problem
A typical growing company ends up with a constellation of subdomains, each on different infrastructure:
- •
blog.example.com— hosted on Ghost or WordPress - •
help.example.com— on Intercom or Zendesk - •
shop.example.com— on Shopify - •
status.example.com— on Statuspage - •
www.example.com— main app
When the company decides to consolidate — move the blog to example.com/blog, or redirect the old docs.example.com to help.example.com — each change requires working within a different platform's redirect settings or DNS.
Worse, each of these platforms has different redirect management UIs, different limitations, and different propagation times. There is no single place to see all your subdomain routing rules or verify that everything is working.
Common subdomain routing patterns
| From | To | Use case |
|---|---|---|
blog.example.com/* | example.com/blog/* | Blog consolidation |
docs.example.com | help.example.com | Help center rename |
shop.example.com | example.com/store | Shopify to native store |
www2.example.com | www.example.com | Decommission old subdomain |
careers.example.com | example.com/careers | Careers page consolidation |
