ohdang888 Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 can you create a subdomain of your site through php, or do sites like blogspot just use mod rewrites and pass the name of the subdomain to a page, which processes it from there?

mikesta707 Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 How do I create subdomains? Everyone has a "www" subdomain (In "www.yourdomain.com", the "www" part is the subdomain). The www subdomain is created by, and serves files from, your /htdocs/www directory on the filesystem. To add more subdomains, just create new subdirectories in the /htdocs directory. For instance, if you had the domain name mychevycars.com and wanted a subdomain for Corvettes, then you would just create the directory /htdocs/corvettes and upload the files in there that you wanted to see at http://corvettes.mychevycars.com taken from http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=53570 Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/176504-subdomain-creation/#findComment-930406 Share on other sites More sharing options...

That also funny to technically think about if your into dns.

MadTechie Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 It really depends how your servers setup, you could do it via php + .htaccess if you wanted it more dynamic but for control I use apache (*vhost) *apache restart required Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/176504-subdomain-creation/#findComment-930412 Share on other sites More sharing options...
