Another question about subdomain questions

[Kimberly]

When I put in http://freepictures.momsbreak.com my page come up fine but when I put in the www. like http://www.freepictures.momsbreak.com I get my main index page.

Can subdomain not have the www in the url?

I'd guess not.
I'm sure you can do something with the .htaccess file to get this to work, but I haven't the slightest on how to do this.

Subdomains don't take the www.

From my limited knoledege of the whole thing...

The "www" is a pointer like "ftp" ect.

Your subdomain ..(sub.you.com) "sub" is a pointer as well.

How it works I couldn't begin to say but thats the answer I got and it made sense to me.

domain.com - top level domain

1.domain.com - second level domain

www.1.domain.com - 3rd level domain.

by adding www, server will treat it as the 3rd level domain.

Is that why we have a "WWW" folder and a "public_html" folder with the same data?

[eric418]

actually that is not a directory or folder, but it's just a shortcut. Just like *.lnk file in windows system.

btw, if you check out its attribute, it's:

l rwx rwx rws

whenever u see attribute with a "L", it's a link.
