I don't know how to ask this question, so please bear with me.
Sometimes I have seen URLs like
mail.yahoo.com
image.craislist.com
How does this work?
What keyword should I put on Google to find some tutorial on this?
What you are referring to is called subdomains. Have a look here for more information on them:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subdomain
when you purchase a domain, such as your-domain.com, anything before the domain is called a subdomain. you can set these on your domain registrar's management panel.
i.e. mail.your-domain.com, mail is the subdomain of the domain your-domain.com
commonly, websites have www as a subdomain of their main domain to enable www.your-domain.com as well
if you want to find out more about domains, you can look here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_name, http://google.com/search?q=domains, http://google.com/search?q=how+do+domains+work

I have created sub domain as example.domain.com on godaddy but when I put url as www.example.subdomain.com it throws me an error
This webpage is not available
ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED
but when I use as http://example.subdomain.com it works. Why is this so?
You have to handle the sub-domains example.subdomain.com and www.example.subdomain.com as if they were two completely different sub-domains.
Fun fact:
It's even possible to create sub-domains like "this.is.my.crazy.subdomain.com"!

How do you create a name in a DNS such that you have a valid URL of NAME.domain.com? I currently have an IP address assigned to domain.com. I want to add a couple of more names. to my DNS so I have the following naming convention,
domain.com IpAddr1
dev.domain.com IpAddr2
qa.domain.com IpAddr3
What is this type of naming convention called? What does the DNS records look like?
Ok, figured this on out on my own. What I was looking for was how to create a sub-domain name. This is easy. just take an existing domain name that you own and add a name in front of it. An example would be dev.mydomain.com. I can then go into a DNS server and create and A record with the new sub-domain name and a specific IP address.

What is the refsrc parameter in URLs for? There is a URL that is being circulated with our domain, but not sure if this is a safe thing.
Thank you
It will depend on the application/website receiving request with that parameter. I've seen that parameter name used to embed the current page for the link. (I believe I saw that on facebook links?)
In that way when the link is followed, the next app/web site is able to know where the link is coming from if the information is not in the HTTP headers due to redirections or similar situations.
I don't believe it's a standard though.

I created an website. For a week I had an under-construction-page, google did find that paged and indexed it. My question is: How did google find my site, while there were no links to this site and the name has never been used before?
Your domain name went in a domain name server. Google probably found it there.
There are so many websites that automatically gather Whois information of domain names with complete information about them. If you are pretty sure that you have never shown your domain to Google, i guess these websites did this.
You browser (Chrome) or your browser's plugin might have sent an anonimous report of your browsing statistics to Google - you did open your site in a browser right?
You weren't using a robots.txt file blocking Google.

We provide a link (example http://indiapriceinfo.in/getbeststore?mobile_id=76340 ) which redirects user to the online store which is selling it at best price (so the redirection link will lead you to different store on different days).
We use these kind of links on multiple domains with 302 redirection. But they all redirect using indiapriceinfo.in, like the above.
Is this bad for SEO? If it is then whats the best pratice to do it.
A 302 redirect is exactly what you should be doing since the redirects are temporary. The fact that the links all point to pages on the same domain is irrelvant as the links are judged on a per page basis, not per site. So indiapriceinfo.in won't gain anything as a domain SEO wise from these links.
