    Hello

    The domain is like digital point.com and sub domain is like forums.digitalpoint .com and here forums is the subdomain...

    and folder is for exmple : digitalpoint. com/folder or digitalpoint. com/images here the folder images...

    your uestion is alittle bit amibguous...

    what d you mean by subfolder ? this? : www. exemple. com/folder/subfolder

    if that's your question

    i don't think that you can create a domain in a server and a subdomain in an other server ...
    because you set up the dns for one server..that's what i think..

    but an htaccess file can help you redirection a domain..or a subdomain ..

    GOOD LUCK i hope this helps you...

    Actually there is no strict meaning of each domain name at all. That could be abbreviation or part of the business name - everything.

    Yes, as far as I know you can. www,.domain.com is a subdomain of domain.com.

    Mail.domain.com does not have to be on the same server or IP as domain.com. But if you use cPanel to create a subdomain it will create a folder that is used by that subdomain. It may be best to edit the DNS directly to create a subdomain if you want it hosted elsewhere.

    I'm new to this too. I think a domain is the main site.
