This is a matter of setting up your ( or your ISP) DNS records to list 
those other sites as sub domains( anothersite) to your parent domain ( 
mysite.com). This builds a DNS record for the entry anothersite.mysite.com.

A good starting point is www.acmebw.com
and the book from O'Reilly (www.ora.com) DNS and BIND.

Depending on who is hosting the site, you or an ISP will dictate who has to 
do what and the costs.
