A subdomain is a part of a web address that is under the main domain, for instance name.example.com. Actually, even in www.example.com the "www" element is a subdomain since the fully qualified domain name is only "example.com". Each subdomain can have its own website and records and can also be hosted using a different provider if you need to use some feature that's not offered by your current service 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 buy your products. In addition, you can have a forum where they can comment on the products and by using subdomains as an alternative to subfolders you'll avoid any chance of all sites going down if you perform maintenance, or update one of the site scripts. Keeping your sites separated is also less risky in the case of a script security breach.
