Well what I've learnt about sub domains, it goes along the line of:
http://subdomain.domain.com
subdomain = Your chosen sub domain page.
domain = Global domain name for all pages.
If your page is or folder is
http://www.domain.com/foldername/
Thats just a basic folder in your FTP not a sub domain try not to get the two confused
If you provide your host site and your site, I would be able to assist you more.
