Benefits of using separate API and UI servers on Different Servers

I'm going to create API (using Laravel) that can handle my Webapp ( angular ) and of course using for mobile app in near future.

So I want to know should I have two separate server (one for API + one for Web app) or just create a subdomain for API on the same server.

What is your suggestion ?

Thanks

The choice is yours. You can have your angular web app at

www.example.com

And your Laravel API app at

www.example.com/api/ or api.example.com or apinewdomain.com

Or you can have both on different servers and different domain names nothing can stop you from connecting each other. Whichever convenient to you do that way.
