What is a subdomain?

Subdomains are extensions that we can use with our domain, for example, suppose that our domain is "http://mycompany.com/" and there we host what the public can see from our site, now suppose that we have a web application to manage our site and for it we create a subdomain "http://admin.mycompany.com/" and host it there. Administrators will then enter that URL to access the administration. Another case of the usefulness of Sub Domains is when a site has different registered users and each one is given the possibility of having their own subdomain so that their visitors can enter their site. EX. the domain is http://site.com and the subdomains are http://user1.site.com, http://user2.site.com and so on.
Technically, when creating a SubDomain with, it will be created automatically a folder with the name of the SubDomain, within the "public_html" folder.
We will host the pages corresponding to the SubDomain there. This folder has its own CGI-BIN directory, however it is not possible to create email accounts with subdomains, nor is there the possibility for each SubDomain to have its own Control Panel.
