A subdomain is a web address, that 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. Every subdomain can have its own website and records i.e. apart from employing the domain name as part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be totally independent and also hosted by a different company. Employing a subdomain can be quite useful if you wish to have different web sites which are associated in some way. For instance, you can have an on-line store under the main domain as well as a forum under a subdomain so as to provide means for your customers to ask questions and / or share thoughts about your products. The advantage of employing a subdomain rather than a subfolder is that the websites are going to be separated, so that you can update one of them or perform maintenance not affecting the other.
