Subdomains with multiple dots best practices

Anyone know of the pros and cons of having multiple dots in a subdomain in relation to web application development?

I was wondering which one of the naming schema would work best:

qa.myproject.example.com (this one has one extra dot)

or

qa-myproject.example.com

i guess there is no harm. provided your domain registrar is flexible for multi-level domain. a.example.com and a.b.example.com is just a record under example.com. you can also switch to DNS provider of you own choice by updating nameservers in you domain register portal.

i found quite useful info here - https://webmasters.stackexchange.com/questions/56984/subdomain-with-dot/56985#56985
