A subdomain is a website address, which is under a main, or a root domain. An illustration is something.domain.com, in which domain.com is the main domain, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Every single subdomain can have its own website and records i.e. apart from employing the domain name as a part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be totally independent and even hosted by a different service provider. Using a subdomain can be extremely beneficial if you want to have different websites which are associated in some way. As an example, you may have a web-based store under the main domain along with a forum under a subdomain so as to offer means for your customers to ask questions and share experiences regarding your products. The advantage of using a subdomain as opposed to a subfolder is that the web sites are going to be separated, so you're able to update one of them or perform maintenance without affecting the other.
