Webhosting and Domain and Subdomains
Submitted by lapurd on Sun, 11/01/2009 - 12:21
I need clarification on webhosting and domain hosting.
What is the difference between:
animals.com/cats
vs
cats.animals.com (subdomain)
Does security factor in in any way?
Any input is greatly appreciated!

There really isn't any great
There really isn't any great difference from a security standpoint. In general, the structure behind both names will be very similar (the "cats" content will exist in a subdirectory of the web directory). The difference is simply in the way the web server interprets URLs. That's my understanding, anyway. There may be more to it than that.
