A subdomain is part of a web address that is under the main domain name, for example name.example.com. Actually, even in www.example.com the "www" element is a subdomain since the fully qualified domain name is just "example.com". Every single subdomain can have its own site and records and can also be hosted through a different company if you want to use a feature that's not offered by your current provider. An example for using a subdomain is if you have a business website along with an online store under a subdomain where clients can buy your products. You can also have a forum where they can comment on the products and by employing subdomains instead of subfolders you are going to avoid any risk of all websites going down when you perform maintenance, or update one of the website scripts. Keeping your websites separated is also less risky in case there is a script security breach.
