Renting server with sub domain option

    If I rent a server that has add (sub domain) options, would that name be dependant on the main name?

    example: main name www,mainname,com

    example: sub name www,mainname,com /subdomainname,com

    or would the sub name be www,subname,com

    The hosting fee is like $6.00 a month with the option to add up to 8 sub names.

    thanks :eek:

    Are you renting a server? Or buying a shared hosting account?

    Either way a subdomain always take the form subdomain.maindomain.com

    Addon domains which are offered by most hosting plans require you to buy another domain name and are treated like a completely seperate site as far the viewing public is concerned.

    generally a subdomain name is always as subdomain.maindomain.com

    additional domains would be as additionaldomain.com
