If you host PHP software like phpBB on a VPS on forum.example.com and have your static website hosted on Netlify under blog.example.com, it's easier to do this with subdomains.

Of course, you can have a load balancer under example.com that acts as a reverse proxy for your forum unter example.com/forum, but the easier setup with different languages/software/servers is to use subdomains imho.
