A subdomain is the section of the web address that's before a domain name and you have quite possibly seen a lot of subdomains while surfing around the Web. As an example, many websites such as Wikipedia have versions a number of languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org and so on. The main advantage of employing a subdomain is that it can have an independent website and its own records, so you can even host it on a different server. The practical use is that you could have a supplementary site, like an e-learning portal for pupils as well as the primary school site. If you are using subdomains rather than subfolders, it'll be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a certain website, not mentioning that it'll be more secure to have the websites separate from each other.

They'll all be listed in the section in which you create them and arranged under the main domain for more convenience, to help you easily keep track of all of them.
