Sorry to bother again with this subject but need to have it perfectly clear in my mind.

If I understood it right, it's better to use sub-folders than second degree domains - right?

I mean , ie:

www.bert.com/blonde/nude/index.htm
www.bert.com/blondes/naked/index.htm

are better than

blonde.www.bert.com/nude/index.htm
blondes.www.bert.com/naked/index.htm

Am I right? Did I miss something?

This is important to me since, while looking for paid hosts, I see references to "unlimited sub-domains / pointers" which I think means "second degree", but very little on the sub-folders. I did see one host that specificly says - "no multiple sites" - and this is not good, since I need to build loads of free sites, as said in the tutorials I've seen.

Anyway, hope you can understand my question, for I am a bit confused myself, and give me some good advice.

Thanks in advance

Yes

& you can put as many folders/directories on your domain as you want with any host.

Ramster · 2004-03-05, 10:07 AM

Yes, much better idea.

As the others said...

Sub-directories are the best choice... go nuts!

Hi everybody

Got this reply from the paid host am considering, about how to make multiple sites:

"You actually can have any number of "real" sites under your main site and put them into subfolders. However, I'm not sure what the links sites will think about that. It's better to add the sites via sub-domains. The number of sub-domains is not limited and will work for you much better."

According to what you said so far, they are WRONG!

Sites in sub-folders is the way to go.

Please let me know your comments and promise won't bother you again with this.

Thanks in avance

Listing to the link list owners not some hosting company.

Use sub folders not sub domains.

Sheesh... this is just host BS!

Bert - as Cleo said - you are much better off listening to us.

eg: I have NO subdomains anywhere, and never have.

Does this host by any chance charge you for setting up sub-domains? a monthly fee per sub-domain?

Don't ask me for advise on your server set up - don't ask your host for advice on free sites

I don’t really use sub-domains but I am curious as to why some people are against them.

The SE’s do not seem to mind them at all and even seem credit them as a unique domain.

Also in that example I think they would look more like this

www.bert.com/blonde/nude/index.htm
www.bert.com/blondes/naked/index.htm

vs.

blonde.bert.com/nude/index.htm
blondes.bert.com/naked/index.htm

without the www

Once you create them either URL will access the same directory.

Thus you can please all parties but this also dilutes the pages PR.

I just remembered a domain that submits to my LL

the domain is "hiddenserver.com"

they have created the subdomain "my"

so it appears as "my.hiddenserver.com" which I thought was a clever use of a subdomain.

Not true.. and they are not a unique domain.

Quote:

so it appears as "my.hiddenserver.com" which I thought was a clever use of a subdomain.

Another stupid idea, and this person hit my blacklist from their first submission.

Quote:

blonde.bert.com/nude/index.htm
blondes.bert.com/naked/index.htm

Not true. This is entirely dependent on server setup.

www. is in fact a sub domain

www.xxx.domain.com is also a subdomain

When you change hosting company it's easy to forget to add all the sub-domains that you have created.
But if you keep everything in sub-folders, nothing will be changed or forgotten if you do a server-server move.

Just my 2 cents
