A subdomain is a web address, that's under a main, or a root domain. An 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. aside from employing the domain name as a part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be completely independent and also hosted by a separate company. Employing a subdomain can be quite practical if you wish to have different web sites which are related in some way. For instance, you can 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 thoughts regarding your products. The main advantage 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 without affecting the other.
