A subdomain is a website address, that is under a main, or a root domain. An illustration is something.domain.com, where domain.com is the main domain address, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Each subdomain can have its own site and records i.e. apart from employing the domain name as a part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be completely independent and even hosted by a separate service provider. Using a subdomain can be quite practical if you'd like to have different sites that are connected in some way. As an example, you may have an on-line store under the main domain plus a forum under a subdomain so as to provide means for your customers to ask questions or share views regarding your products. The benefit of employing a subdomain as opposed to a subfolder is that the websites will be separated, so that you can update one of them or perform maintenance not affecting the other.
