Subdomains allow you to easily manage parts of your website and make your link look great at the same time! For example, instead of having the introduction page of your site look something like this - mysite.com/a/intro - you can just create a subdomain for that part of your website - intro.mysite.com. Subdomains can also act as fully independent websites.
Follow the steps to create a subdomain according to your cPanel theme:
