A subdomain is the part of the web address that is before a domain name and you've quite possibly seen a lot of subdomains while browsing the Web. For example, many sites such as Wikipedia have versions in several 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 website and its own records, so you're able to even host it on a separate server. The practical use is that one could have a supplementary site, like an e-learning portal for pupils in addition to the primary school site. If you are using subdomains as an alternative to subfolders, it'll be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a certain website, not mentioning that it will be more secure to have the sites separate from one another.

They are going to be listed in the section where you create them and grouped under the main domain for more convenience, so you can very easily monitor all of them. Furthermore, you can access a lot of functions for any of the subdomains through right-click context menus - for instance, you can view or change their DNS records, access the site files, and more. While creating a new subdomain, you will also have lots of options that you can choose from - specify the default access folder, create custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions or select if the subdomain is going to use a shared or a dedicated IP address.
