What is a subdomain and how do they  work? 

A subdomain is a domain that is part of a larger domain. 

Some popular real life examples of subdomains that most of you will recognize are:

news.google.com
mail.yahoo.com
groups.google.com

Subdomains provide the ability to create a cleaner address than using just a directory. Currently subdomains are treated as separate entities by most of the search engines and do not dilute the focus of your domain. 

Subdomains are enabled on all cPanel 10 servers and you can create them through your control panel by clicking on the sudomains icon if the option is active for your account. Most all paid hosting packages include some subdomains. The amount included may vary from host to host.

Maybe you want to use a subdomain to give one of you children or other  family member their own web space. They can have their own FTP and be completely in charge of their space but they won't be able to damage your main site.
