Alert:
Answer 1)Many web hosting companies provide free subdomains added to the hosting plan.
These free subdomains are a part of your primary domain and point to a folder within your 'public_html'
directory. Every domain has a "www" subdomain (e.g. "www.yourdomain.com", where the "www" part is the
subdomain) A subdomain, also known as a "third-level" domain, can be used to create memorable web addresses
for various possible sub-sites of your site. E.g. "mail.yahoo.com", " mail.google.com" are the subdomains for
yahoo.com and google.com. The general format is: "subdomain.domain.com".

Answer 4)Subdomains reside under a normal domain.

Subdomains can be used in the same way as the main domain - to host a complete separate website etc.
