What is Sub Domain
Hosting:
A Sub Domain is a web address that looks like (yourname.hostname.com).
The hosts name is often very popular and by association,
your site can be too. Sub Domains are a clever place to start your web presence.
Often the URL will be short and easy to remember. Search
engine placement can also be affected in a positive way,
the search engines love new sites.
Some hosting sites also provide sub
domains from your URL. Sub-domains are a neat feature
included on every host dime hosting accout. Sub-domains
are 3rd level domain names. They are in the format: subdomain.yoursite.com.
Sub-domains are useful for seperating parts of your site
or hosting seperate websites on your domain name. To
create a sub-domain, you have to enter CPanel.
Below are a few Free hosts that provide
Free Sub Domain hosting. Some require you to post a banner
or some sort of link exchange, but for some it is worth
it.
