Creating & deleting subnames are gas only transactions requiring ETH on Ethereum Mainnet
The Manager of a name can create and delete subnames.
For wrapped names, the Owner role (which includes Manager permissions) handles these actions.
Creating a subname has no registration fees – it only costs gas.
There’s no limit to how many subnames can be created.
Subnames can create their own subnames too.
When you register a .eth name, like ens.eth, you’re registering a second-level domain (2LD) under the top-level domain (TLD) .eth.
Once you own a .eth name, you can create subnames beneath it. For example, the owner of name.eth can create subnames like sub.name.eth. And those subnames can also create subnames like sub2.sub.name.eth, and so on.
