Ok, _but_ in taking www.josephcrawford.com as your example, www is a host of josephcrawford.com not a subdomain. Which makes sense when you thinkabout it for a couple seconds www as a sub-domain would be www.www.josephcrawford.com also perfectly valid, you could delegate responsibility for the www 'subdomain' too in dns. expanding that out, www.www.www.josephcrawford.com is also legitimate! any domain can have subdomains, and each subdomain can have it's own subdomains.. im sure there is a limit, but im not sure where it is. Incedentally, phishing sites commonly use this tactic to appear legitimate. buy using a legitimate looking subdomain for their evil gains. www.bankofamerica.com.evilsite.co.fr for instance, pefectly legal dns entry.
