NO NO NO NO

YOU HAVE THOSE THE WRONG WAY ROUND (appoligies for shouting)

the thing immediatly BEFORE the TLD (.com, .co.uk .eu etc) is the domain if its something like page.hsbc.co.uk or something.something.hsbc.co.uk then it is still a sub-domain of the hsbc url (only someone who has access to the hsbc dns record can create those). However if as you suggested it was www.hsbc.pagename,co.uk the it would actually point you to a subdomain of the website "pagename.co.uk".
