A subdomain is a part of a web address that's under the main domain name, such as name.example.com. From a technical perspective, even in www.example.com the "www" part is a subdomain since the fully qualified domain name is only "example.com". Every subdomain can have its own website and records and can also be hosted through a different provider if you want to use a feature which isn't provided by your current provider. An example for using a subdomain is if you have a company site along with an online store under a subdomain where clients can buy your products. You can even have a forum where they can comment on the products and by using subdomains instead of subfolders you will avoid any chance of all sites going down if you perform maintenance, or update one of the site scripts. Keeping the websites separated is more secure in the event of a script security breach.

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, pick 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 will be conveniently listed in alphabetical order in one spot and you will be able to gain access to lots of functions for each one of them with right-click context menus - records, files, etc.
