you are talking about two different things here.
subdomains and sub sites. (proper internet terms not used here ) sorry.)

However a sub domain like you want for instance

mynewsite.1amsoftware.com would be some computer, a seperate computer running a seperate web server with a different ip address,

Where www.1amsoftware.com/mynewsite is just a sub directory, or folder off my main site.


You cant make a new site like 123.456.789/subsite, and have a dns point to that address. Sorry.

dns's have to point to an ip address, One server can have more than one ip address, if you run more than one port other than port 80 .. but that gets a little tricky.
or you could have your web server setup with various ip address, and route them to sub folders based on the domain name..

But setting up a virtual Directory for various different web site dns's and setting up machine names like mynewmachine.1amsoftware.com myoldmachine.1amsoftware.com are totally different. both reqire dns hosting by either yourself (if you know how) or your isp. both require seperate ip address

Clear as mudd huh.
