Re: Reasons for Empty (headless root) Root

This can be debated for days, it depends entirely on the company and the goals and what kind of administrative overhead a company is willing to accept for an empty root. In general smaller companies don't usually do it but larger companies are more likely to do it but again, it is all based on things specific to those companies. There is no security benefit of doing this.

What are the pros and cons or why/why nots for moving off the root domain and into a child? We already have 2 childs based off geographical means, our first domain, where most users first originated are still on root. Ideally we'd like to move these original users to a new domain that is more akin to the geographical standard already set.

Thanks in advance.
