I am interested in creating a website which includes a registration process that allows a new user to dynamically create a subdomain of their choice (if available) for their web pages. After the sign-up process has completed, the new user would be able to visit their new website at http://<YourChosenSubDomain>.MyDomain.com, and also have the ability to make changes (add/edit/delete) the pre-configured websites pages and page content.
Would i need a dedicated server or is there another alternative?
Ideally if Dedicated hosting is the only option i would also like this to be managed (i realise this is an expensive option).
Would i need to add a script that enables the auto-generation of sub domains?
Just want some advice as to the viability of this.
The reason i’ve gone with a dedicated hosting package is because i have quite a few hosted sites anyway so when i worked it out it’s actually more cost effective for me to operate this way.
Hi,
yes, you can create sub domains by using wildcard subdomains. it means just u need to create on sub domain with *. after that try to allow mode re write option in your server.
fcolor’s (ZUBRAG) link appears to be a PHP script which accesses cPanel to get around the need for Apache’s Dynamically configured mass virtual hosting. That said, it would make life easier! :tup: Thanks for that link, fcolor!
You shouldn’t need a whole lot with the server. You software (Wordpress for instance) could handle this as long as *.yourdomain.com was pointed to your main site.
