Consider "about.example.com". Here "example" is a subdomain of the "com" top-level domain (TLD) while "about.example.com" is a subdomain in the domain "example.com". Like this you can create any type of subdomain under your domain name.
You can think of file system hierarchy, where domain could be equal to a folder and any other folder inside this could be equal to subdomain. This subdevision can go up to 127 deep and whole domain name should not exceed a total length of 255 characters.

Creating any number of subdomain is a very simple process and it also depends on your hosting package. Some hosting company don't allow you to make subdomains or restrict number of subdomains.

Simple steps to create subdomain:

1. Open your Control Panel given by your website hosting company.
2. Click the "Domain Control Panel" or "Domains".
3. Select the domain name under which you want to create subdomain.
4. Click the "Manage/Create Subdomains" or "Add Subdomain" button.
5. Write subdomain name and if required write directory path with which your subdomain will be associated.
6. Click the "Submit" button.
7. Thats all. Subdomain will be ready within an hour.
