A subdomain is a web address, that's under a main, or a root domain name. One example is something.domain.com, in which domain.com is the main domain name, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Every single subdomain can have its own site and records i.e. aside from employing the domain name as a part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be entirely independent and even hosted by a separate company. Employing a subdomain can be very handy if you'd like to have different sites which are related in some way. For instance, you may have a web-based store under the main domain and a forum under a subdomain in order to provide means for your clients to ask questions and / or share experiences regarding your products. The main advantage of employing a subdomain rather than a subfolder is that the sites are going to be separated, so you can update one of them or perform maintenance without affecting the other.
