Once you have your dns settings already configured with a hosting provider, adding sub-domains is super simple. I think netlify might even take care of all of it for you. I was looking at the last couple that I did and don't see any records on my dns provider.

Otherwise if your hosting provider does not take care of it automatically you can set up a CNAME with your registrar.

Here is one that I had setup for myself.
came on google domains

👆 this one sets up default-kedro-157.waylonwalker.com/

Especially with the simplicity of deploying to netlify you can go bananas releasing toy projects almost as easy as a code pen, and have a nice url.
