Sub-dom or sub-dir? (2 posts)

    Hi.

    I know the topic has been discussed, but I haven't found a clear answer.

    And I also can't find any documentation which answers the following question:

    What is the difference in using wpmu with sub-dom vs sub-dir?

    These are my requirements:
    - I'm using it as a CMS
    - Each new blog will have their own domain (www.mysite.com)
    - Each domain might have their own sub-domains.
    - A website might install a forum and access this through mysite.com/forum

    I know about Donncha’s Domain Mapping plugin, so I'll be using this one to map blogs with domains.

    But I need an advice on which is the best solution for me; using sub-domains or using sub-directories.

    Feedback much appreciated.

    Subdomains. Donncha's domain mapping plugin won't work on a subfolder install.

    If the domains will have sub-blogs, then you need to use a Multi SITE plugin, which maps domains and lets them have child blogs.
