A subdomain is a website address, that's under a main, or a root domain name. One example is something.domain.com, where domain.com is the main domain name, 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 part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be fully independent and also hosted by a separate company. Using a subdomain can be very practical if you wish to have different sites which are connected in some way. For instance, you can have an online store under the main domain and a forum under a subdomain in order to provide means for your clients to ask questions or share thoughts concerning your products. The main advantage of employing a subdomain as opposed to a subfolder is that the websites are going to be separated, so you are able to update one of them or perform maintenance without affecting the other.
