A subdomain is a web address, which is under a main, or a root domain name. An example is something.domain.com, in which domain.com is the main domain name, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Each and 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 completely independent and also hosted by a different provider. Employing a subdomain can be quite practical if you want to have different websites which are related in some way. For example, you can have an online store under the main domain as well as a forum under a subdomain in order to provide means for your clients to ask questions and share views regarding your products. The advantage of using a subdomain instead of a subfolder is that the web sites are going to be separated, so that you can update one of them or perform maintenance without affecting the other.
