A subdomain is part of a web address which is under the main domain name, for instance name.example.com. From a technical perspective, even in www.example.com the "www" part is a subdomain given that the fully qualified domain name is just "example.com". Every subdomain can have its own web site and records and can also be hosted through a different company if you need to use a specific feature which is not provided by your current service provider. An example for using a subdomain is if you have a business site as well as an online store under a subdomain where customers can purchase your products. You can also have a forum where they can comment on the products and by employing subdomains as an alternative to subfolders you will avoid any chance of all sites going down if you perform maintenance, or update one of the website scripts. Keeping the sites separated is less risky in case there is a script security breach.

We have decided not to restrict their amount, so even when you host only 1 domain address in the account, you're going to be able to create as many subdomains as you want and have a different website for each one. During the creation of a subdomain, you'll be able to select the folder in the account that it'll open, set up personalized error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions and error logs, choose a server shared IP address or a dedicated one if you have such, and more. All hosted domains and the subdomains that you create for them are going to be conveniently listed in alphabetical order in one spot and you will be able to gain access to numerous functions for each one of them through right-click context menus - records, files, etc.
