Most Zulip servers host a single Zulip organization on the root domain
(i.e. `zulip.example.com`). The way this is implemented internally
involves the organization having the empty string (`''`) as its
"subdomain". You can mix having an organization on the root domain
and some others on subdomains (e.g. `it.zulip.example.com`).
"subdomain".
You can mix having an organization on the root domain and some others
on subdomains (e.g. `subdivision.zulip.example.com`), but this only
works well if there are no users in common between the two
organizations, because the auth cookies for the root domain are
visible to the subdomain (so it's not possible for a single
browser/client to be logged into both). So we don't recommend that
configuration.
