A subdomain is a web address, which is under a main, or a root domain name. An example is something.domain.com, where domain.com is the main domain, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Each subdomain can have its own website and records i.e. aside from using the domain name as part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be fully independent and also hosted by a separate service provider. Using a subdomain can be very useful if you wish to have different web sites that are related in some way. For instance, you could have an online store under the main domain along with a forum under a subdomain so as to offer means for your clients to ask questions and share opinions concerning your products. The advantage of employing a subdomain rather than a subfolder is that the websites are going to be separated, so you're able to update one of them or perform maintenance without affecting the other.
