How do ISPs view different subdomains under one root domain?
ISP treatment of subdomains:
Separate tracking:
Subdomains can build own reputation
Engagement and complaints tracked per subdomain
Different subdomains can have different standings
Root domain influence:
Severe root domain issues may affect subdomains
New subdomains may inherit some root reputation
Not completely independent
Provider variations:
Different providers weight root vs subdomain differently
Gmail more granular in tracking
Some may aggregate more
Practical effect:
Subdomains provide useful isolation
But not complete firewall
Better than no isolation
Divisions of a company have their own performance records but the parent company reputation still matters.
