A subdomain is a website url, that's under a main, or a root domain name. One example is something.domain.com, in which domain.com is the main domain name, while "something" is the subdomain below it. Every single subdomain can have its own website and records i.e. aside from employing the domain name as a part of the whole web address, a subdomain can be completely independent and also hosted by a separate company. Using a subdomain could be very beneficial if you wish to have different websites which are related in some way. For example, you could have a web-based store under the main domain as well as a forum under a subdomain so as to offer means for your clients to ask questions and share opinions regarding your products. The benefit of using a subdomain rather than a subfolder is that the sites will be separated, so you're able to update one of them or perform maintenance without affecting the other.

You'll have access to a lot of functions for any of them with only a click, so from the same section where you create them you can access their DNS records, files, visitor statistics, etc. As opposed to other companies, we have not limited the number of subdomains which you can have even if you host one domain in the account.
