A subdomain is a website url, that's under a main, or a root domain. An example is something.domain.com, in which domain.com is the main domain address, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Every single subdomain can have its own website and records i.e. aside 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. Employing a subdomain can be very handy if you wish to have different sites which are associated in some way. As an example, you may have a web-based store under the main domain and a forum under a subdomain so as to provide means for your customers to ask questions and share thoughts regarding your products. The main advantage of employing a subdomain rather than a subfolder is that the websites will be separated, so you can update one of them or perform maintenance not affecting the other.
