Definitions

Sub-domain - defined as having a URL that has the same domain name and type as the primary domain but a different first part. For example, test.sizzlingwebdesign.com could be a sub-domain of sizzlingwebdesign.com.

Parked domain - a domain name that points to another domain but has no web pages associated with it. For example, easyestimates.com can be "parked" on sizzlingwebdesign.com so that if a Web user enters easyestimates.com they see the sizzlingwebdesign.com Web site. There is no separate Web site for easyestimates.com.

Add-on domain - the domain's files are attached another Web site but the add-on domain appears as a separate Web site to Internet Users. For example, sizzlingwebdesign.com's Web pages could be stored in a sub-directory of sizzlingvideo.com but sizzlingwebdesign.com appears as an independent Web site to Internet Users.
