&gt; Subdomains are not issued by domain registries. �However, a site tenant might sublet a subdomain to someone. �I have a web site that allows me unlimited subdomains. �These can also be used as anchors for implementation of add-on domains. �E.g., my domain for &lt;<a href="http://nfoWorks.org" target="_blank">http://nfoWorks.org</a>&gt; is targeted at my actual web site as &lt;<a href="http://nfoworks.nfocentrale.com" target="_blank">http://nfoworks.nfocentrale.com</a>&gt; and that maps onto &lt;<a href="http://nfocentrale.com/nfoworks/" target="_blank">http://nfocentrale.com/nfoworks/</a>&gt;. �I don&#39;t publicize the subdomains because I don&#39;t want people to bookmark them: �if I move or re-organize the site, such bookmarks would no longer work.<br>

&gt;<br>
&gt; The address has not been hijacked. �The address <a href="http://p2p.foundation.net" target="_blank">p2p.foundation.net</a> is a different address. �If <a href="http://p2pfoundation.net" target="_blank">p2pfoundation.net</a> had been routed to an unauthorized place, that would be hijacking.<br>

&gt;<br>
&gt; What it looks like in the current instance is that the holder of <a href="http://foundation.net" target="_blank">foundation.net</a> simply routes unimplemented subdomains to a generic home page. �There are sites like this all over the Internet, some intentionally designed to make fruit from mistyped URLs.<br>

&gt;<br>
&gt; Michel, did you see a scraped version of the &lt;<a href="http://p2pFoundation.net/Category:Peergovernance" target="_blank">http://p2pFoundation.net/Category:Peergovernance</a>&gt; page or did you see a version of the page that now appears, the one with the same content �from &lt;<a href="http://foundation.net" target="_blank">http://foundation.net</a>&gt; with possibly-different formatting?<br>
