Domain names are read from right to left. Different sub-domains under a domain name are generally used to point to different servers, however, this is not always the case. For example, the wikipedia community might want a ] version of the site to be on a server in ]. So, es.wikipedia.org might point to 67.167.39.4, while en.wikipedia.org and database.en.wikipedia.org can both point to 24.73.285.3, just different pages.

Redirect to:

This page is a redirect. The following categories are used to track and monitor this redirect:
  • With history: This is a redirect from a page containing substantive page history. This page is kept as a redirect to preserve its former content and attributions. Please do not remove the tag that generates this text (unless the need to recreate content on this page has been demonstrated), nor delete this page.
    • This template should not be used for redirects having some edit history but no meaningful content in their previous versions, nor for redirects created as a result of a page merge (use {{R from merge}} instead), nor for redirects from a title that forms a historic part of Misplaced Pages (use {{R with old history}} instead).
When appropriate, protection levels are automatically sensed, described and categorized.
