Which would work better

[tonyolm]

I have a few domain which are pr5 and pr6

www.thedomain.com

I want to ad some more content but the server I have is nearing it's capacity.

I have been adding sections like:

www.thedomain.com/newcontent

What I would like to do is:

newcontent.thedomain.com

And then link to newcontent.thedomain.com versus www.thedomain.com/newcontent

This way I can just start setting up new sections on another server versus moving the entire site.

Does it really make a difference? www.thedomain.com is a pr5.

Would newcontent.thedomain.com versus www.thedomain.com/newcontent be just as good?

I would suggest moving to a server that allows Sub Domains and increased space. I do not no if this is true for everyone but in my own experiences I prefer domain.com/test rather than a subdomain.domain.com

[tonyolm]

Anyone else? Moving the site to one of our other servers is no biggie.. I was just being lazy :)

From a PR and Google ranking perspective it makes no difference.

But overall it sounds like the correct thing to do is simply bite the bullet and upgrade to a larger webspace. Having the same site split across two domains, not to mention uploading files to two different servers, can be quite a pain. It can also be a pain to relocate those pages on the subdomain when you eventually do upgrade.

so we don't think PR/Ranking on a topic would change much?

Like if we had

www.domain.com/toefungus

versus

toefungus.domain.com

Google would rate www.domain.com/toefungus just as well as toefungus.domain.com?

I didn't know if google looks at
toefungus.domain.com as more of a toefungus site versus a site that would be
www.domain.com/toefungus
www.domain.com/skinfungus
www.domain.com/bellybuttonlint
