A subdomain is a web address, that's under a main, or a root domain. An illustration is something.domain.com, in which domain.com is the main domain name, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Each subdomain can have its own website and records i.e. aside from employing the domain name as a part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be totally independent and even hosted by a separate service provider. Employing a subdomain can be very beneficial if you wish to have different websites which are connected in some way. For instance, you may have an on-line store under the main domain as well as a forum under a subdomain so as to offer means for your clients to ask questions and share views about your products. The main advantage of using a subdomain as opposed to a subfolder is that the web sites will be separated, so that you can update one of them or perform maintenance not affecting the other.
