    Hi all,

    I'm kinda new to all this web servers stuffs..

    I'll like to know if I could host 4 separated database servers under one domain, for example...

    Top level Domain is: www.SocialPress.com

    1 server would be: directory.socialpress.com
    2 server would be: jobs.socialpress.com
    3 server would be: news.socialpress.com
    4 server would be: blogs.socialpress.com

    Any suggests or explain how this can be done is greatly appreciated :D

    Yes, each of these are effectively 4 separate sub-domains, and each of them could be set-up on a different server with no problem. Any host (with more than a couple of servers!) could do that for you. There is nothing complicated about what you are asking.

    Whether it's subdomain or not. As long as you have your DNS Server pointing correct, you should be able to do it.

    Like what Ron has said, what you wanted to know can be done with a simple google search "Subdomain hosting".

    All you would need is an A record in your DNS zone file that points to the correct IP. As stated above, it should be pretty simple to do.

    Yes, it is possible and technically not very complicated.

    As long as you have subdomains you can have unlimited number of servers. :)
