What is fallback subdomain?

A Fallback subdomain is a subdomain added as a precursive measure to avoid server issues while loading your usual subdomain. If your domain have more than one subdomain at use, then your server where the domain registrar have set up the subdomains and the main naked domain might experience a fallback - a negligible but sensitive time-lapse between surfing. However, we set up fallback precautions to cover such issues.

A fallback IP address of subdomain will just redirect or hijack your usual subdomain and make it possible to load the site with a secondary subdomain.

Consider this blog, blogspot.padanam.com experienced such a lag. I have assigned 'tech/ to be my fallback subdomain. So, in case of any domain server timelapse, my subdomain blogging may not work, but you will view this site through tech.padanam.com
