Structure Check: shop.mydomain.ch vs. mydomain.ch/shop
Your website's structure has a direct impact on how Google evaluates your content. We explain the difference between subdomains and subdirectories.
| Type | Example | Best Use |
|---|---|---|
| Subdomain | blog.curiaweb.ch | Separate areas (e.g., support portal, blog) |
| Subdirectory | curiaweb.ch/hosting | Thematically closely related subpages |
The SEO Perspective
Google often views subdomains as independent entities. If you want to leverage the "power" of your main domain, subdirectories are usually the better choice. Subdomains are excellent if you want to run completely different software (e.g., a ticket system) separately from your main site.
