GEO Location and Currency change with sub domain or country tld?

OBHost

Which way is better to target specific country? Sub domain (xx.abc.com) Directory Domain (abc.com/en-xx/) or Country Tld (abc.xx)

Any one who can assist over this?

Requirement: Specific country target with their local currency and helpline number.

ideally on a separate domain, if not possible, on a subdomain is good for clarity and targetting as these are (mostly) considered as separate from the main domain by search engines.

But if i can search other companies of the same industry, ovh or godaddy..

OVH has Directory Domains and Country TLD
while
Godaddy has Sub Domains?

Whats the difference between xx.abc.com and abc.com/en-xx/ (Any specific difference?)
And
If using country TLD so same content will hit because of duplicate content or should i change the language?

Answered already.
xx.abc.com - different site from main site
abc.com/en-xx/ - Considered main site.

To the human user => None as long as there is clarity
To the search engines => It used to be significant but nowadays search engines much more intelligent hence not much difference

Duplicate Content - Make subtle changes to differentiate -- eg plan names etc

And cross reference from your other thread too
