Sub-Domain

A Sub-Domain (sometimes known as a Child Domain) refers to when an additional prefix is added to an existing domain name and separated by a period.  For example, “forums.igoldrush.com”, is a sub-domain of “igoldrush.com”.  Although most people don’t think of it in this way, www is the most common sub-domain used on the Internet.
