Domain names are a key component to a web company. Domain names convert the numerical plan that computers use to ntify a website into a text based name that is easy for human users to understand and remember.

Sub-Domain

A sub domain, also known as a "third-level" domain, is a grand way to create unforgettable web addresses for a variety of sub-sites of your site. For instance, Yahoo! uses sub domains for its different services, like "mail.yahoo.com", "music.yahoo.com", etc. The basic syntax is: "http://subdomain.domain.com".

Large businesses use sub domains to establish branding and focus on separate products or services, because a sub domain creates a separate URL and web presence, all within your same main hosting account. For example, a restaurant directory may establish sub-domains for different cities, or a school can set up sub domains for different academic programs.

It is also possible to redirect or forward traffic from a particular sub domain to another location, either within the main site or to a different website.

You should be able to set up and manage parked domains and subdirectories from your hosting account or domain registrar control panel. However, as we usually suggest, always consult with your web host before proceeding if you have any suspicions.
