A subdomain is the section of the web address that's before a domain name and you have most likely seen a lot of subdomains while exploring the Web. As an example, many sites such as Wikipedia have versions in various languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org and so on. The best thing about employing 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, like an e-learning portal for college students in addition to the main school website. If you are using subdomains as an alternative to subfolders, it will be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a certain site, not mentioning that it will be more safe to have the sites separate from one another.
