    Only the owner of the domain or the owner's legal representative can work out a deal with someone. You are probably referring to something in the form x.y.com where y.com is the domain and x technically stands for the host (node) name. In this case, x.y.com can have a different IP than y.com and DNS is provided by the nameservers of record for domain y.com

    Realistically, this could be a tricky situation. For the person buying the subdomain anyway. They have no assurance the domain will be renewed annually. So they cannot be assured all their hard work on their site will be worth it or in vain in the event the subdomain suddenly disappears along with the main domain when the domain owner doesn't renew. That's just one issue, there could be others.

    Assuming, a subdomain was even available on such a high profile site, it would cost a lot. Maybe more than it could generate in income.
