A subdomain is a website url, that's under a main, or a root domain name. One example is something.domain.com, where domain.com is the main domain address, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Every single subdomain can have its own site and records i.e. apart from using the domain name as a part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be totally independent and also hosted by a different service provider. Employing a subdomain can be quite practical if you wish to have different sites which are related in some way. For instance, you could have an on-line store under the main domain along with a forum under a subdomain so as to supply means for your clients to ask questions or share experiences concerning your products. The main advantage of using a subdomain as opposed to a subfolder is that the sites are going to be separated, so you're able to update one of them or perform maintenance without affecting the other.
