A subdomain is part of a web address that's under the main domain name, such as name.example.com. Actually, even in www.example.com the "www" part is a subdomain given that the fully qualified domain name is just "example.com". Each subdomain can have its own website and records and can even be hosted using a different company if you need to use some feature which is not provided by your current provider. An illustration for using a subdomain is if you have a business site and an online store under a subdomain where customers can buy your products. You can also have a forum where they can discuss the products and by employing subdomains rather than subfolders you will avoid any probability of all websites going down when you perform maintenance, or update one of the website scripts. Keeping your websites separated is more secure in case there is a script security breach.
