What are the advantages and disadvantages of having a subdomain for each user account?
- by Sathish Manohar
I notice two types of design used in web applications, some with a particular subdomain for users contents, and some with same URL structure for all the accounts.
Ex: unique.domain.com and another_unique.domain.com for subdomains for sites like blogspot, wordpress, basecamp etc.
while in the other approach domain.com/action1 and domain.com/action2 the content is shown according to the user logged in, but the URL is same for every user.
What are main differences between both of these kind of design?
