[PHP] The meaning of myurl.myurl2.com

2001-02-06 Thread Todd Cary

What is the meaning of a URL that has two periods in it?  For example

http://www.myloc.aristesoftware.com

Where does that take the sufer relative to the root of
aristesoftware.com?

Somewhere the above host name resolves to an IP address.  It is just a
different host.

In the world of domain names , arietesoftware is a subnet of ".com" and
"myloc" is a subnet of "aristesoftware.com" with "www" finally being a host
in the subnet "myloc.aristesoftware.com."

Also,

com= root domain
aristesoftware = 2nd level domain
myloc  = 3rd level domain
www= host in the 3rd level domain

This could go on forever.
