A subdomain is part of a web address that is under the main domain name, for instance name.example.com. Actually, even in www.example.com the "www" element is a subdomain given that the fully qualified domain name is only "example.com". Each subdomain could have its own site and records and can even be hosted through a different provider if you need to use a feature that is not provided by your current provider. An example for using a subdomain is if you have a company website along with an online store under a subdomain where clients can purchase your products. You can also have a forum in which they can discuss the products and by using subdomains instead of subfolders you are going to avoid any probability of all websites going down if you perform maintenance, or update one of the site scripts. Keeping your websites separated is also more secure in case of a script security breach.

They will all be listed in the section where you create them and grouped under the main domain for more convenience, so that you can effortlessly keep tabs on every one of them. Additionally, you can access a lot of functions for any one of the subdomains via right-click context menus - as an example, you can view or modify their DNS records, access the site files, and a lot more. While setting up a new subdomain, you are also going to have numerous options that you can choose from - determine the default access folder, set custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or pick if the subdomain will use a shared or a dedicated IP address.
