Should I add a second website/sub-domain or keep everything under the current domain

Hi,

I am looking for some feedback on a project I am working on. I have the website https://qrposts.com

It is a management tool for landowners which allows landowners to put posted signs with QR Codes on them on their land. Then a hunter scans the QR Code and requests access to hunt/access that land.

We now have enough landowners in the system to start a front facing side for hunters. This will allow hunters to come to our site and reserve land to hunt right from a browser.

My initial thoughts were to create a new site at https://hunt.qrposts.com, however now I am second guessing myself and thinking of just putting everything under the same https://qrposts.com domain.

Wondering if anyone has been in a situation similar and looking for some ideas.

Thanks!

@kreierson,

I think id just do what google does.. https://qrposts.com/hunters

Sure you could use this... https://laravel.com/docs/8.x/routing#route-group-subdomain-routing

but if you are really wanting the vanity, I'd still do hunterscooldomain.com then forward it to https://qrposts.com/hunters

My lens on this is from link juice, ease of dev, and marketing. That said, qrpost.com feels a bit weak for the marketing part, but I'm an outsider.

its funny, as the pastime of hunting is so unpopular if you did that site in the UK?
