A subdomain is a part of a web address that is under the main domain, for instance name.example.com. From a technical perspective, even in www.example.com the "www" element is a subdomain given that the fully qualified domain name is only "example.com". Every subdomain can have its own site and records and can even be hosted with a different company if you wish to use some feature which isn't offered by your current provider. A good example for using a subdomain is if you have a company site as well as an online store under a subdomain where customers can acquire your products. You can even have a forum in which they can talk about the products and by using subdomains rather than subfolders you will avoid any chance of all websites going down if 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.
