Bluehost : Subdomain or ordinary subfolder

This is a bluehost question posted by Bob Barr on 13 November 2008

I want to set up individual test sites so that clients can view their web pages during development and OK them before going live with their sites.

Are there any particular benefits and/or drawbacks to setting up a formal subdomain through cPanel versus just creating a subfolder under my main domain?

Creating a subdomain allows access through clientname.example.com and access to an ordinary subfolder is through example.com/clientname, right? (Actually, I’m not entirely certain that both addresses don’t work identically.)

Is there anything that I’m missing here?
