    1. Domains usually refer to the toplevel, whereas sub-domains are prefixes for the toplevel. I.e., "www.domain.com" vs "www.subdomain.domain.com".

    2. Sometimes search engines pay attention to it. Depends on a number of other factors.

    3. Benefits -- depends on your purposes. If you mean SEO related, sometimes it does help you rank higher (but again, other factors affect that).

    4. It should be fine to use them.
