> Don’t try to be clever by using a localized domain, don’t use .io. .com just gives a better impression... https://gohugo.io https://gohugo.io - Hugo website

  It’s a shame there we are so whipped to .com

    These days nobody types an address into the search bar so any TLD that's not country based should be fine. I say that because your home country is a fluid concept.

  It really depends if you want them connected or not. In the Hugo example, completely agree. But sometimes it can make sense: Example.com vs members.example.com vs login.example.com Example.com can be a static website, while login attempts go to the login domain (which also helps for auth/postback config), and members might be the dynamic content that is viewable once logged in. separates infrastructure in an easy way that has no real impact on SEO

  the reasoning is the following: >Note on subdomains: every subdomain, to Google, is a different website. So if your domain is flaviocopes.com, and you create your blog in blog.flaviocopes.com, then that’s a completely new website to Google, and it will have its own ranking separate from the main domain. So from a SEO perspective it might make sense, if you're running a small blog and traffic is one of your main goals.
