A subdomain is the part of the web address that is before a domain and you've probably seen a lot of subdomains while exploring world wide web. As an example, many sites like Wikipedia have versions in various languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org and so forth. The best thing about using 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 one could have a supplementary website, like an e-learning portal for pupils on top of the primary school site. If you are using subdomains as an alternative to subfolders, it's going to be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a certain website, not mentioning that it's going to be more safe to have the websites separate from each other.

They will all be listed in the section in which you create them and grouped under the main domain for more convenience, so you can effortlessly monitor all of them. Additionally, you can access a lot of functions for any one of the subdomains via right-click context menus - for instance, you can view or edit their DNS records, access the website files, plus much more.
