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.
