There were two queries on the same subject http://www.jeetbo.com/seo/domain-name-seo-registrar.html (comment #1)

Sir If I am having a site of .com then can I handle its country specific subdomains from their respective country specific hosting server ? under same TLD. like fr.abc.com in french country server and in.abc.com in indian hosting server for same abc.com, I will host abc.com at US server.

There are many of these parameters that a search engine will consider to understand its value addition to a specific location. Hosting IP is one of it. To answer your question, yes you can host the different subdomains in different location by changing the A record of your domain. Now the biggest problem you will face is the manageability as your website will be hosted on different computers and you will have more overheads. How can you manage it effectively is the most important thing.

Generally you can have an architecture where the subdomain is taken as a parameter and then the same website code can render the domain for the region. The key here is SVN, when you can easily use a server which allows to have SVN and then you can manage the code at one server and checkout at different places. Even you can do a SVN Update using a URL to manage it.

Once again to answer your query, yes it is possible to host it in different servers at different location if it is a subdomain or a different TLD domain but not possible if it is a sub-directory.

Hope it clarifies your doubt.

  1. Thank you for answering Mr. Aji, but do all server will allow to put SVN, to handle all sub domains under one domain ? and how it will done ??

  2. Not all servers allow SVN but many of it allow SVN. The technical part of it is a little time taking stuff to understand, the .htaccess will come into play.

    Thanks.
