A subdomain is the section of the web address that is before a domain name and you have quite possibly seen a lot of subdomains while browsing the Internet. For example, many websites like Wikipedia have versions a number of languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org and so forth. The main advantage of employing a subdomain is that it can have an independent site and its own records, so you are able to even host it on a different server. The practical use is that you could have a supplementary site, such as an e-learning portal for pupils in addition to the primary school website. If you are using subdomains rather than subfolders, it'll be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a specific site, not mentioning that it's going to be more safe to have the sites separate from one another.
