Re: [LUG] domains

 

I have my one domain minionsbandb.co.uk but I "add" on sub domains for
free which gives me mail for each sub ie 
I have tearooms.minionsbandb.co.uk 

and could have I think a total of 5 

There is a separate control panel for each one 
My understanding of a Parked Domain is one registered but with no
hosting agreement set up yet.  Nominet Reg and host company may be the
same though.
