If you own the:

    coke.com

DNS domain then, by definition of how DNS works, you also own:

    www.coke.com

If I (i.e. NOT the owner of "coke.com") then tried to register:

    pepisiscool.coke.com

then I would be informed that the domain "coke.com" is already registered.

Basically if you want:

    www.myfabcompany.com

you would register the domain:

    myfabcompany.com

and then set up a DNS entry under this domain called:

    www.myfabcompany.com

which would point to the IP address of your web server.

Any decent domain registration company will be able to explain this 50
times better than I can.  If they can't then get your domain registered
with someone else!
