A subdomain is a part of a web address which is under the main domain name, for instance name.example.com. Actually, even in www.example.com the "www" part is a subdomain given that the fully qualified domain name is only "example.com". Every single subdomain could have its own web site and records and can even be hosted with a different provider if you wish to use a feature that isn't provided by your current service provider. A good example for using a subdomain is if you have a company site along with an online store under a subdomain where customers can purchase your products. Additionally, you can have a forum where they can discuss the products and by using subdomains as an alternative to subfolders you are going to avoid any chance of all sites going down when you perform maintenance, or update one of the website scripts. Keeping the websites separated is less risky in case there is a script security breach.
