# Namespaces
In GitLab, a *namespace* organizes related projects together.
In GitLab, a *namespace* provides one place to organize your related projects. Projects in one namespace are separate from projects in other namespaces,
which means you can use the same name for projects in different namespaces.
GitLab has two types of namespaces:
- A *personal* namespace, which is based on your username. Projects under a personal namespace must be configured one at a time.
- A *group* or *subgroup* namespace. In these namespaces, you can manage multiple projects at once.
- A *Personal* namespace, which is based on your username and provided to you when you create your account.
- If you change your username, the project and namespace URLs in your account also change. Before you change your username,
read about [repository redirects](../project/repository/index.md#what-happens-when-a-repository-path-changes).
- You cannot create subgroups in a personal namespace.
- Groups in your namespace do not inherit your namespace permissions and group features.
- Creating subgroups under this namespace is not allowed.
- All the *Personal Projects* created will fall under the scope of this namespace.
- A *group* or *subgroup* namespace:
- You can create multiple subgroups to manage multiple projects.
- You can change the URL of group and subgroup namespaces.
- You can configure settings specifically for each subgroup and project in the namespace.
- When you create a subgroup, it inherits some of the parent group settings. You can view these in the subgroup **Settings**.
To determine whether you're viewing a group or personal namespace, you can view the URL. For example:
