A subdomain is the section of the web address that is before a domain and you have almost certainly seen a lot of subdomains while exploring the Web. As an illustration, many sites like Wikipedia have versions in different languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org and so forth. The main advantage of using a subdomain is that it can have an independent site and its own records, so you are able to even host it on another server. The practical use is that you could have a supplementary site, such as an e-learning portal for pupils on top of the primary school website. If you are using subdomains as opposed to subfolders, it will be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a particular site, not mentioning that it'll be more safe to have the websites separate from one another.
