A subdomain is part of a web address that's under the main domain, for instance name.example.com. Actually, even in www.example.com the "www" element is a subdomain given that the fully qualified domain name is only "example.com". Each subdomain can have its own site and records and can also be hosted using a different provider if you need to use a certain feature that isn't offered by your current provider. A good example for using a subdomain is if you have a company website along with an online store under a subdomain where customers can purchase your products. You can also have a forum in which they can comment on the products and by using subdomains as opposed to subfolders you will avoid any probability of all websites going down when you perform maintenance, or update one of the site scripts. Keeping the websites separated is also more secure in case there is a script security breach.
