A subdomain is a part of a web address that is under the main domain name, such as name.example.com. Technically, even in www.example.com the "www" element is a subdomain because the fully qualified domain name is only "example.com". Every single subdomain could have its own website and records and can also be hosted with a different provider if you wish to use a specific feature which is not provided by your current service provider. A good example for using a subdomain is if you have a company website along with an online store under a subdomain where clients can acquire your products. In addition, you can have a forum where they can comment on the products and by employing subdomains as opposed to subfolders you will avoid any probability of all sites going down if you perform maintenance, or update one of the site scripts. Keeping your websites separated is less risky in case of a script security breach.
