A subdomain is a web address, that is under a main, or a root domain name. An 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 entirely independent and also hosted by a separate company. Using a subdomain can be very handy if you'd like to have different websites that are associated in some way. For instance, you can have an online store under the main domain along with a forum under a subdomain in order to supply means for your clients to ask questions and share experiences about your products. The advantage of employing a subdomain as opposed to a subfolder is that the sites are going to be separated, so you're able to update one of them or perform maintenance without affecting the other.
