I want to get some thoughts on :

[LIST]  
[_]using sub domain for web pages - eg. [http://aboutus.site.com](http://aboutus.site.com), [http://home.site.com](http://home.site.com)  
[_]using the usual / - eg. [www.site.com/aboutus.php](http://www.site.com/aboutus.php), [www.site.com/home.php](http://www.site.com/home.php)  
[/LIST]  
I want to know the advantage and disadvantage.
