    Dynamic subdomains

    Appologies if this this has already been answered but I did a search, maybe searching for the wrong things. Alright, so I have a CMS style-system where I would like to use dynamically allocated subdomains to point to a user's profile (eg. user.mydomain.com). Unfortuately I have no idea how to do this, or if it's even possible on Dathorn.

    Can anybody point me in the right direction?

    I believe what you're referring to is wildcard subdomains. These are generally setup such that *.domain.com points to domain.com and then your script on domain.com redirects each subdomain accordingly. This is something that we can setup for you, simply submit a trouble ticket requesting it.

      would that work same as catchall for email, if tehre is no subdomain set then *.domain.com rule applies. I mean if that is turned on, would it affect already set subdomains and subdomains created afterwards?

        We don't recommend using actual subdomains and wildcard subdomains together, it does become a bit of a problem when subdomains are added after the wildcard rules have been setup.
