A subdomain is a website url, that is under a main, or a root domain. An illustration is something.domain.com, where domain.com is the main domain address, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Each subdomain can have its own site and records i.e. aside from employing the domain name as a part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be completely independent and also hosted by a separate service provider. Using a subdomain can be quite beneficial if you wish to have different web sites which are related in some way. For instance, you could have an online store under the main domain along with a forum under a subdomain so as to supply means for your clients to ask questions and / or share views regarding your products. The best thing about using a subdomain rather than a subfolder is that the sites will be separated, so you're able to update one of them or perform maintenance not affecting the other.
