Differring PR on same pages

Linkster, the site in question is currently on shared hosting, so, no, I haven't got access to the httpd.conf file.

On my testing box at home, the ServerName has the www. in it, and a ServerAlias without. As this is, I believe, the default set-up, it should be the same on the server I use.

In answer to your links question:
I had a mixture, so, as we speak I am changing everything to absolute links and absolute references to graphics, etc.

As I do a lot of URL re-writing for ashtetic purposes, I have implemented a redirect for the non-www links (for SEO purposes, since this discovery). This will do me until the time comes to move to 'better' hosting.

On a similar note... what are your (and others) views on sub-domains as opposed to sub-folders (http://folder.domain.com/ instead of http://www.domain.com/folder/)

the only opinion I have of subdomains vs folders is that remember that SEs consider subdomains a totally different domain, wheras a folder is the same domain.
Also dont use subdomains if you do any kind of submitting of galleries or free sites - most larger LLs and TGPs wont accept subdomains in the urls

This may be a little off topic but since sub-domains were mentioned I figured Id ask here. Say I have a subdomain that I want to assign a first level domain name to. Would doing this break any pre-existing incoming links to the site. The site is on a sponsor host so I dont have access to config files and cant seem to get .htaccess to work there.
