Subdomains - why use them?
My host allows subdomains, but what's their advantage?
I've seen some sites using http://forums/mysite.com but why is this any better than http://www.mysite.com/forums? Darren.

Well...
forums.mysite.com is really mysite.com/forums, but usually, things that are / something are an addition to the main site, whereas as something.mysite.com tends to be notified as a Linked site, but it isnt an addition to the site as a whole, just a sideproject, which supports itself rather than relying on the site... Its all psychological... Satan

there is no real need to use them, but it depends on you if you like them or not
 but sometimes it is usefull: lets say you are member of a clan, and a subdomain of the clansite links to your homepage which does not need to be on the same server

whatever.domain.tld is in essence the exact same thing as www.domain.tld. In many cases it's just an alias to some part of the 'mother' site, in other cases it's on a server on the other side of the planet. Personally, I have a few development sited on subdomain, where I mirror the main domain to get a test platform that has the exact same setup as where stuff will run in the end. I also have subdomains where friends of me that are on cable with static IP's have their webpages. I merely point the said subdomain to their computer, etc... Enough ranting. Most likely noone understood squat of what I just said, but I'll press the submit button anyways...
