A subdomain is part of a web address that is under the main domain name, for example name.example.com. From a technical perspective, even in www.example.com the "www" element is a subdomain given that the fully qualified domain name is only "example.com". Every subdomain could have its own site and records and can even be hosted using a different company if you want to use some feature that isn't provided by your current service provider. An illustration for using a subdomain is if you have a business website as well as an online store under a subdomain where customers can acquire your products. In addition, you can have a forum in which they can discuss the products and by using subdomains as opposed to subfolders you will avoid any risk of all sites going down if you perform maintenance, or update one of the website scripts. Keeping your websites separated is more secure in case there is a script security breach.
