Hi Sidney,

It can be created by running an application server on the particular domain. And by application server, i meant a web application running in the background created using either Python, Java, Ruby, PHP or any other language which could support HTTP request and response. In the above case the URL "http://blog.teamtreehouse.com/" would be set as the Context Path of the Web Application and the remaining are set by the Web application.

Hi Anand, I really appreciate that. Comprehensive. One extra clarification: Does this mean to install JBoss application server on my pc? I would appreciate a lot if you converted a link like : http://journals.estudykenya.com for me as an example. Thanks a lot.

Hi Sidney,

Yes you need to install an application server like JBoss or Apache Tomcat in your PC and host your application in the server. Once you are done with that you could access the local URLs like "http://localhost/<webapp-name>/<web-service-url>

The link you have provided is a CMS and i don't think it would serve the purpose. You could go through the following link to get a hold of how the web application runs in a JBOSS server to responds to HTTP requests. http://wiki.jetbrains.net/intellij/Developing_and_running_a_Java_EE_Hello_World_application
