How to Choose the Right Domain or Subdomain for Your School Website in VIDYAOne
Setting your website address is an important step in making your school website live. In VIDYAOne, you can either use a free subdomain or connect your own custom domain for a more professional look.
What is a Domain and Subdomain?
Domain: Your main website address (example: yourschool.com)
Subdomain: A free website address provided by VIDYAOne (example: yourschool.edusite.in)
Option 1: Use Free Subdomain (Quick Setup)
In the onboarding page, you can create a free subdomain.
Enter your preferred name
It will be combined with .edusite.in
Example: yourschool.edusite.in
Click on Save Subdomain
Use your institute name (short and clear)
You can combine:
School name
Trust name
Location (city/area)
Avoid long or complicated names
This option is best if you want to launch your website quickly.
Option 2: Use Custom Domain (Recommended)
