In general, a domain is an area of control or a sphere of knowledge.
1)
In computing and telecommunication in general, a domain is a sphere of
knowledge identified by a name. Typically, the knowledge is a
collection of facts about some program entities or a number of network
points or addresses.
2) On the Internet, a domain consists
of a set of network addresses. This domain is organized in levels. The
top level identifies geographic or purpose commonality (for example,
the nation that the domain covers or a category such as "commercial").
The second level identifies a unique place within the top level domain
and is, in fact, equivalent to a unique address on the Internet Lower
levels of domain may also be used.
Strictly speaking, in
the Internet's domain name system, a domain is a name with which name
server records are associated that describe subdomains or host. For
example, "whatis.com" could be a domain with records for
"www.whatis.com" and "www1.whatis.com," and so forth.
3) In
Windows NT and Windows 2000, a domain is a set of network resources
(applications, printers, and so forth) for a group of users. The user
need only to log in to the domain to gain access to the resources,
which may be located on a number of different servers in the network.
Sub domain
Lets say your domain is aurino.com, you install a Message Board and put in in a directory called aurino.com/board/. You can turn the directory board into a sub-domain by adding it as a sub-domain from your Control Panel. Now you can access your Message board as either aurino.com/board
OR
board.aurino.com
Let's say you own the domain, abc.com. A sub domain of that would be something like newsite.abc.com.
Parked Domain
Let's say you own abc.com, but you also own abc.net, abc.biz, abc.org, etc. You want these domains to also point to your same abc.com site so you "Park" them to your primary site. Another classic example for Domain Parking is if you owned one domain such as mycompany.com but for marketing purposes also used other domains like accountingservices.com or autodetailing.com, etc. There's many good reasons for using multiple domains with a single account
Add-On Domains
You want the two domains to be totally separate/independent websites. In order to have additional parked domains you need to purchase the additional domain(s). Register Add-on domains.
Sub Account Domain
If you manage multiple web sites and want to control them under one simple plan, you will need sub-account support. With a sub-account you may use either a sub-domain of your primary domain name (example: something.abc.com) or you can use an entirely different domain. Sub-accounts have their own unique web site, emails, CGI, PHP, MySQL, Stats, etc. for each sub-account, all connected by 1 single control panel.
