I'm making a web application and i'm just wondering about the domain name. I want it like google does it where its like maps.google instead of google . com / maps
How do i do this when buying a domain?

There are a few different levels of domain when it comes to DNS.
The first level is the top domain level. You cannot buy the top domain as they are the base of all domains and include the infamous .com
or .org
.
The second level is the one you can buy. You buy a domain related to a first level domain. So if you wanted akashkodesia.com
you need to make sure it is available on the .com
top domain and try to buy it.
Once you bought a domain, the subsequent levels are up to you. You can create whatever you want without asking anyone. Of course you have the restriction of the DNS protocol which is up to 255 characters total for your complete DNS name including dots.

These are called subdomains
.
Any URL you buy can have any subdomain by adding a DNS record.
So if you buy example.com, you already have anything.example.com.
I suggest you read up on DNS a bit. This should get you started.
