What is a sub domain name ?

A sub domain name is when your web pages are part of someone else's domain.
For example www.toptown-pc.localcouncils.net where toptown-pc is a sub domain of localcouncils.net.

All the web sites we design have their own unique domain name, www.toptown-pc.gov.uk for example.
