Ask HN: Renting out subdomains

4 pointsby natsu90over 12 years ago
I bought a domain several months ago only to use its subdomain (the domain name is my last name), and I was thinking to rent out the unused hostname/subdomain to people who also had the same last name. Is there any risk to the domain? I'm afraid if they make illegal website using the subdomain, then the domain will be taken down as well, is it true? Thank you for your time.

You can just rent them an email account anyname@surname.com, I suspect that's what most people want anyways (especially non-techies).
