Subdomain Finder Tools and Data Sources: Top 4 Cybersecurity Applications
Subdomains are useful as they help domain owners organize their websites. They identify specific pages on a company’s site, guiding customers and internal and external users to where they will find the information they need or product they wish to buy.
