    Hi,

    Say we have an ecommerce website - myfashionstore.com, is it better to setup a blog on another new domain? or just set it up as blog.mystore.com? The blog will serve to inform existing customers and friends about new products being release and also to blog about other topics.

    If its for the purpose you mentioned, subdomain would be much better than a completely new domain. It kinda tells your visitor directly that the blog is somewhat related to the product or service you are providing. So subdomain for me.

    Regarding that example, can that still be called a subdomain, or is it a sub folder? because i thought that .com/ is still classed as subdomain.
