A subdomain is a website url, which is under a main, or a root domain. An example is something.domain.com, where domain.com is the main domain name, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Each subdomain can have its own site and records i.e. apart from using the domain name as part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be totally independent and also hosted by a separate service provider. Employing a subdomain can be very practical if you want to have different web sites which are related in some way. As an example, you could have an online store under the main domain plus a forum under a subdomain so as to supply means for your clients to ask questions and share experiences about your products. The best thing about employing a subdomain instead of a subfolder is that the web sites are going to be separated, so you can update one of them or perform maintenance not affecting the other.
