Site for multi countires - multiple websites or multiple stores?

we have to set up a site for multiple countires with "English" language.

1)Countires : India & USA.

2)For indian customers, we need to display "RS" as currency & "$" for US.

3)Shipping charges will be more for US Customers.

4)Products , Product prices & categories are same

5)COD is available in India & not for US customers.

6)In Product view page, we support "check delivery availability" & different zip codes for India & US.

7)we want to use same domain name for both.

If we use sub-domain, again we have to upload products for different databases, so we want to ignore it.

now IS it better to use multiple websites or single website with multiple stores ?

I think Store view is not required as we are using only one language as English ?

or one Store view is mandatary per one store ?

please guide me what is best procedure.

I would suggest to create as websites. In the requirements you mentioned 1) and 2) depends on the way you configure. The other 3), 4), 5), 6) and 7) depends on how you are configuring each of their properties.

1)Countires : India & USA. - Can be configured as different websites

2)For indian customers, we need to display "RS" as currency & "$" for US - This can be managed from Magento Admin-> System->Manage Currency-> Symbols

3)Shipping charges will be more for US Customers. - This can be managed from Magento admin->System->Configuration->Sales ->Shipping Methods. I think you will have two different shipping methods for both the countries.

4)Products , Product prices & categories are same - They will be

5)COD is available in India & not for US customers. - This can be managed from Magento admin->System->Configuration->Sales ->Payment Methods-> Cash on delivery selecting only india in Payment from Specific Countries

6)In Product view page, we support "check delivery availability" & different zip codes for India & US. - There are couple of extensions out there to help on this or you develop it on your own.

7)we want to use same domain name for both. - They can be used.

Let me know if you have further queries
