A subdomain is a part of a web address that is under the main domain name, for instance name.example.com. From a technical perspective, even in www.example.com the "www" part is a subdomain given that the fully qualified domain name is only "example.com". Every subdomain could have its own site and records and can also be hosted using a different provider if you wish to use a feature which isn't provided by your current provider. An illustration for using a subdomain is if you have a company website along with an online store under a subdomain where customers can acquire your products. You can even have a forum where they can talk about the products and by using subdomains rather than subfolders you are going to avoid any risk 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.
