A subdomain is a web address, which is under a main, or a root domain name. An illustration is something.domain.com, in which domain.com is the main domain address, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Each and every subdomain can have its own site and records i.e. aside from using the domain name as a part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be totally independent and also hosted by a separate company. Employing a subdomain can be very useful if you want to have different web sites which are associated in some way. For example, you may have an online store under the main domain plus a forum under a subdomain so as to offer means for your clients to ask questions and / or share thoughts concerning your products. The benefit of using a subdomain as opposed to a subfolder is that the sites are going to be separated, so that you can update one of them or perform maintenance without affecting the other.
