Sub-directory or Sub-domain? Which is Better?

Hi,

I am going to divide one of my websites in different portions. So, I am thinking which one is better?

1) Sub-directory for each portion

2) Sub-domain for each porton.

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated

Thanks

if the contents are very related just a folder. if different subdomain.

 

It all depends whether if the portions are closely related to the main site or not. If they are, choose subdirectories.

(Btw, this has been asked soo many times before)

 

Portions are related to each other. Almost close, but not very very close.

 

Always try to avoid using subdomains unless the topic is 100% off topic
