A subdomain is a website address, that is under a main, or a root domain. An example is something.domain.com, where domain.com is the main domain, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Each subdomain can have its own site and records i.e. apart from employing the domain name as a part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be completely independent and even hosted by a separate provider. Employing a subdomain can be extremely useful if you wish to have different sites that are related in some way. For example, you can have a web-based store under the main domain and a forum under a subdomain so as to supply means for your clients to ask questions or share opinions concerning your products. The advantage of using a subdomain as opposed to a subfolder is that the websites are going to be separated, so you can update one of them or perform maintenance without affecting the other.
