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.
