A subdomain is a website url, that's under a main, or a root domain. An illustration is something.domain.com, in which domain.com is the main domain name, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Every subdomain can have its own site and records i.e. aside from employing the domain name as part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be completely independent and also hosted by a separate company. Using a subdomain could be very useful if you wish to have different websites which are connected in some way. For example, 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 share thoughts about your products. The advantage of using a subdomain rather than a subfolder is that the web sites will be separated, so that you can update one of them or perform maintenance not affecting the other.
