A subdomain is a website url, that is under a main, or a root domain name. An example is something.domain.com, where 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. apart from employing the domain name as a part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be completely independent and even hosted by a different provider. Using a subdomain could be very beneficial if you want to have different websites which are connected in some way. For example, you could have an online store under the main domain and a forum under a subdomain in order to supply means for your clients to ask questions or share opinions concerning your products. The advantage of using a subdomain as opposed to 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.
