How is creating a SiteWorx account called forum.mysite.com different from just creating the subdomain forum within the mysite.com SiteWorx account?

Creating a subdirectory will simply create a forum directory inside the html directory for the subdomain’s files.

/home/mysiteco/mysite.com/html/forum/

While creating the SiteWorx account forum.mysite.com will have the same functionality as any other SiteWorx account. It will have its own Linux user and home directory completely separate from mysite.com

/home/mysiteco/mysite.com/html/
/home/forummys/forum.mysite.com/html/
