Is it possible that I set-up a redirect of my store which is located at www.xyz.com/store to store.xyz.com .Do i have to buy a new domain name or is there any other way.
How do aliases or redirects work?

You most certainly do not have to buy store.xyz.com as a new domain name. store.xyz.com is a part of xyz.comA domain name is made up of multiple partswww.google.comwww.google.com |    |     | --- domain name extension  |    | --- domain name | --- subdomainmail.google.commail.google.com |     |     | --- domain name extension  |     | --- domain name | --- subdomainYour ownership of the domain name entitles you to unlimited subdomains, but your webhost may choose not to let you create them. (In fact, you already have one subdomain, www.xyz.com) Your web host / domain name registrar may also attempt to trick you into paying for subdomains.The specifics of how to set up a subdomain vary depending on your hosting configuration.For GoDaddy:Next to the hosting account you want to use, click Manage.In the Domains section, click Subdomains.Complete the following fields, and then click Create:  Subdomain  Enter the subdomain you want to use for one of your hosted domain names.Select the domain name for which you want to create the subdomain.Document Root  Enter the directory you want to use as the root directory for the subdomain's website, or use cPanel's default.Quoting Godaddy's page on Managing Your Hosting Account Subdomains (For other people who see this answer other than the OP and are not on GoDaddy): To redirect /store to this subdomain , see the other answers.
