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, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Each subdomain can have its own website and records i.e. aside from employing the domain name as a part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be fully independent and also hosted by a separate provider. Using a subdomain can be quite useful if you wish to have different sites that are connected in some way. For instance, you could have a web-based store under the main domain along with a forum under a subdomain so as to provide means for your customers to ask questions and / or share experiences regarding your products. The main advantage of using a subdomain instead of a subfolder is that the websites will be separated, so you can update one of them or perform maintenance without affecting the other.
