Sub-Domains

A sub-domain is a website address. This address is in a different format to regular domain name addresses because it has two "names" and then the extension.

For example, the addresses below could be extended to have one site published on the main "www." address and one on "sub-domain." address.

Naturally most people do not name their sub-domains "sub-domain", they tend to use something more descriptive. Eg. parcels.australiapost.com.au or newyork.travel.com

In the event that you would like to use the format www.subdomain.domain.com with the "www." before the sub-domain, you can do that too. Simply create your sub-domain as "www.subdomain".
