Just read your post about Subdomains vs Folders. I saw an error. A subdomain CAN have a different IP address than the domain. The folder is forced to use the same IP as the domain.

Thanks for the discussion on the topic.

In my case, I am able to create a subdomain such as somename.somesite.com but still use it in folder style like somesite.com/somename for my links.

In other words, the same info can be accesed either way.

Would it be better to create a subdomain (somename.somesite.com) to have the subdomain usage but create the links from the primary domain with links like somesite.com/somename for SEO?
