A subdomain is a website address, that's under a main, or a root domain name. An example is something.domain.com, in which 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. aside from using the domain name as a part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be fully independent and also hosted by a separate company. Employing a subdomain can be very useful if you'd like to have different websites which are related in some way. As an example, you can have an online store under the main domain along with a forum under a subdomain in order to supply means for your customers to ask questions and / or share views about your products. The main advantage of employing a subdomain instead of a subfolder is that the web sites will be separated, so you're able to update one of them or perform maintenance without affecting the other.
