A subdomain is a part of a web address that is under the main domain, for instance name.example.com. Actually, even in www.example.com the "www" part is a subdomain since the fully qualified domain name is only "example.com". Every single subdomain could have its own website and records and can even be hosted through a different provider if you wish to use a feature which is not offered by your current service provider. An example for using a subdomain is if you have a business website as well as an online store under a subdomain where clients can buy your products. In addition, you can have a forum where they can discuss the products and by employing subdomains instead of subfolders you are going to avoid any risk of all sites going down when you perform maintenance, or update one of the website scripts. Keeping the sites separated is more secure in case there is a script security breach.
