   I have noticed some of the registrars list the number of “subdomains” available. Is a subdomain for example like http://www.whatever.com/forum whereas the root domain would be just http://www.whatever.com or are subdomains different?

     You are close, but not quite. Your are correct with your example regarding the root level domain.

     In your example using http://www.whatever.com/forum, the forum is simply a folder or area within the main domain and functions within the main domain.

     However, a sub domain would be http://www.subdomain.whatever.com and is set up as an entirely different set of files that work independently from the main domain of whatever.com.

   With domain name registrars, do you you have to use the registrar you register the domain name with to host your website?

     To answer directly, no.
     Visit TLC, subject Domain Names for more information about registrars.
