What is sub domain?
A subdomain name is a piece of additional information added to the beginning of a website's domain name. It allows websites to separate and organize content for a specific function — such as a blog or an online store — from the rest of your website.
For example:
store.yourwebsite.com
In this example, ‘store’ is the subdomain, ‘yourwebsite’ is the primary domain and ‘.com’ is the top level domain (TLD). You can use any text as your subdomain, but you want to make sure it’s easy to type and remember.
How to create a subdomain?
You can easily create a subdomain in your domain register or your Wordpress hosting account. In this example, we will create a subdomain using our hosting company bluehost, but the process is similar in all platforms.
To create a subdomain in Bluehost, you must log in to your web host account. Then click on the Domains tab on the left. This will open a submenu with several options. What is alias domain?
A user alias domain is a domain name that can be used as an alternate name for another domain. With Google Workspace, user alias domains can give users an email address at another domain. As with any other domain you use with Google services, you must own the domain name and verify your ownership.
How to setup a Domain Alias in cPanel?
A cPanel Domain Alias points or redirects the alias domain to the contents of another. This is helpful if you own several types of one domain. For instance, you could own the “.com” and “.net” versions of your site. In this tutorial, I will show you how to set up a domain alias in cPanel.
How Does a Domain Alias Work?
If we set up ggexample.org as an alias of ggexample.com, a visitor going to ggexample.org would land on the ggexample.com site. The ggexample.com domain would remain in the browser address bar. Essentially, we are pointing multiple domains to the same location.

What is parked domain?
A parked domain is a domain name that is registered, but not connected to an online service like a website or email hosting. In other words, it is a purchased domain name that is not currently being used. Instead, it is “parked” for future use.
Usually, after a domain name is registered with a domain registers, it’s linked to a hosting service. Hosting is where your website lives. You can buy this from hosting providers like Bluehost Hostgator and sitegroung The domain is simply an address to direct users to your completed website. When a domain is parked, that connection to the hosting service doesn’t exist. With that being said, the act of domain parking can get more complex based on your particular needs.

What is DNS?
2.1 that computers use to connect to each other. The Internet's DNS system works much like a phone book by managing the mapping between names and numbers. DNS servers translate requests for names into IP addresses, controlling which server an end user will reach when they type a domain name into their web browser.
DNS Basics
All computers on the Internet, from your smart phone or laptop to the servers that serve content for massive retail websites, find and communicate with one another by using numbers. These numbers are known as IP addresses. When you open a web browser and go to a website, you don't have to remember and enter a long number. Instead, you can enter a domain name like example.com and still end up in the right place.
A DNS service such as Amazon Route 53 is a globally distributed service that translates human readable names like www.example.com into the numeric IP addresses like 192.0.2.1 that computers use to connect to each other. The Internet’s DNS system works much like a phone book by managing the mapping between names and numbers. DNS servers translate requests for names into IP addresses, controlling which server an end user will reach when they type a domain name into their web browser. These requests are called queries.
