A subdomain is part of a web address that's under the main domain, such as name.example.com. Technically, even in www.example.com the "www" element is a subdomain since the fully qualified domain name is only "example.com". Every subdomain could have its own website and records and can also be hosted using a different company if you need to use a certain feature that is not offered by your current provider. An illustration for using a subdomain is if you have a business site as well as an online store under a subdomain where customers can purchase your products. In addition, you can have a forum where they can discuss the products and by employing subdomains as opposed to subfolders you are going to avoid any chance of all sites going down if you perform maintenance, or update one of the site scripts. Keeping your sites separated is less risky in the case of a script security breach.
