Subdomain
"In the Domain Name System hierarchy, a subdomain is a domain that is a part of another domain. For example, if a domain offered an online store as part of their website example.com, it might use the subdomain shop.example.com" wikepedia.org.
Alias or parked domain
- Parked or aliases domain are domains that you own and would like to point or redirect domain A to domain B
- Instead, domain points to the contents of another domain or subdomain on your account
- This is useful, for example, to hold a domain that you will later sell or to redirect traffic to another domain
- The reason why you will choose alias is to simplify content redirection
- For example, you have the following domains called abc.com and abc.net. abc.com is your primary domain with contents, and you want your website's visitors that visit abc.net to be redirected to abc.com
