    Hi,

    i'm facing an interesting challenge redeveloping a website that includes the website itself, a forum and an e-shop.
    Basically i was thinking to develop those parts into 3 phases and thus to be independent of each other.

    so the website itself will be stored under main domain (ex: www.example.com), while forums will be stored under a subdomain (forums.example.com) and e-shop as another subdomain (eshop.example.com)

    i would like to know if this is a problem for a good SEO ?
    or is it much more better to have everything under 1 "roof" www.example.com (main site), www.example.com/forums (forums) and www.example.com/eshop (eshop) ?

    Please detail your answer in order to help me to understand.
    thx a lot.
