I have a website hosted on a CentOS box (httpd service) as:
http://mycompany.the.global
Which I am able to access without hosts file entry in my local machine. On the home page of:
http://mycompany.the.global
I have few links to:
http://fin.mycompany.the.global
http://hr.mycompany.the.global
http://admin.mycompany.the.global
These links are not reachable. Though all these links are reachable when I make entry for these URLs in hosts file as below:
10.11.12.13 fin.mycompany.the.global
10.11.12.13 hr.mycompany.the.global
10.11.12.13 admin.mycompany.the.global
I want these to be accessible without hosts file entry in my local machine. Main page http://mycompany.the.global is accessible without hosts file entry.

If you want a domain name to be accessible without adding it to the hosts file, you have to have a valid DNS record. The simplest would here be to point fin.mycompany.the.global to mycompany.the.global as a CNAME record. That way, you'd only have to update one record when the IP change.

You check with whoever set up DNS for mycompany.the.global. This question has nothing to with Ubuntu, and will probably be closed. You may have more luck at Serverfault or Unix&Linux SE.
