A subdomain is a part of a web address that is under the main domain, for example name.example.com. Technically, even in www.example.com the "www" element is a subdomain because the fully qualified domain name is just "example.com". Each subdomain could have its own website and records and can also be hosted through a different company if you need to use a certain feature which isn't provided by your current service provider. One example for using a subdomain is if you have a company site as well as an online store under a subdomain where customers can buy your products. You can also have a forum where they can comment on the products and by using subdomains instead of subfolders you will avoid any probability of all websites going down when you perform maintenance, or update one of the site scripts. Keeping the sites separated is more secure in the event of a script security breach.
