A subdomain is a web address, which is under a main, or a root domain. One example is something.domain.com, where 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 entirely independent and also hosted by a different service provider. Using a subdomain can be quite handy if you want to have different web sites that are connected in some way. For example, you can have an on-line store under the main domain along with a forum under a subdomain so as to provide means for your customers to ask questions and share opinions regarding your products. The benefit of employing a subdomain rather than a subfolder is that the sites are going to be separated, so you are able to update one of them or perform maintenance not affecting the other.
