A subdomain is a website address, that is under a main, or a root domain name. One example is something.domain.com, where domain.com is the main domain address, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Every single subdomain can have its own website and records i.e. apart from using the domain name as a part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be totally independent and also hosted by a different service provider. Employing a subdomain can be very practical if you want to have different websites which are related in some way. For example, you may have an online store under the main domain and a forum under a subdomain so as to offer means for your clients to ask questions and / or share views about your products. The main advantage of employing a subdomain as opposed to a subfolder is that the sites are going to be separated, so you can update one of them or perform maintenance not affecting the other.
