Can I 'Park' A Subdomain (Or Folder)? If So, How?

Hello Warriors:

This probably seems like a silly question to those 'in the know' but, as it sit here trying to digest a turkey and stuffing sandwich, I was wondering if you can park a subdomain (or folder) instead of the whole domain?

For example, if I have a site at www.widgets.com (and do all the normal stuff you do regarding ranking, content-development, etc.) can I set things up to be able to say somthing like, "To see a list of companies selling widgets, please go to www.suppliers.widgets.com" (or www.widgets.com/suppliers/) and have a 'parked' page at that location?

If so, how? (Or, perhaps the correct question is, "With what 'parking' company?)

    I don't think you can do what you're asking Tommy.

    Why not just buy a domain: www.purveyors-of-quality-widgets.com and then simply do a redirect from www.widgets.com/suppliers to that page?

    Does that help you any?

    P.S.
    I hear good things about www.parked.com. Michael Campbell recommends 'em. They wouldn't take riff-raff like me, though. Haven't bothered to ask why; don't expect a response.

      You can not park a subdomain or folder of a website specifically. They are part of your web site (like branches of a tree).

      What you can do: create a folder or subdomain > set up a page there > redirect the visitors to actual suppliers web site.

        In your Cpanel click "subdomains" then click "manage redirection" next to the subdomain of choice.

        Then choose the folder or directory path you want the subdomain to follow.

        I think "park" is the wrong term for what you need.
