A subdomain is the section of the web address that is before a domain name and you have probably seen a lot of subdomains while browsing world wide web. As an example, many websites like Wikipedia have versions in different languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org and so on. The main benefit of employing a subdomain is that it can have a separate 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 site, such as an e-learning portal for college students in addition to the main school website. If you are using subdomains instead of subfolders, it'll be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a particular site, not mentioning that it's going to be more safe to have the websites separate from one another.
