How Do U Make Your Own Subdomain Service

Recommended Posts

well unlike phoenix here i have plenty of dedicated servers but the thing that twiged me is that would you not have to set special ip addresses for each domain or whatever but but thee is another way insted of giving away domain names like co.nr why dont you offer subdomains with your hosting so they are lined together then the subdomain would be a valid url and it would be linked to the site.

It'd be difficult, depending on what you're planning this for. If it's commercially, you're going to need scripts. If a couple friends need subdomains and you want to create some php scripts to automatically let them do it, without abuse prevention ( since they'd be trusted ), it'd be a matter of scripting. Otherwise, you're going to have problems down the road with keeping it up and running if people choose to abuse the service you're providing.

right i have worked out how to do it 1. GEt a hosting account with unlimited ip addresses (idealy a dedicated server)2. make your end extentions like .example3. build the site4. get a script that links the users domain name (http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/) to one of your ip addresses.5. Then set up a database in SQL to tellthe server whatg to do with the domains being prosessed and any names that are not being used for a period of time (like say 1 month) get the server to send the user of that domain an email saying that you need to reactivate your domain. And if they dont the name will get deleted from the server and that ip address will become free again.hope that answerd your quetion Phoenix so all in all you would need a server and lot of bandwidth and unlimited ip addresses.

yeah but thik about it forget about it costing to cerate new domins...in the real wordl it costs to just add a domain to your site even if its a subdomain of a domain you already have on...sub domain lending is a risky business only to be taken down by the stupid...it costs soooooooo much to do! Dunno why anyone does it cos they cant get any real money from just a couple of ads displayed on the users site....can they?...

You can make your own subdoamin by1) You should take a server from a nice server provider..2) You should make the server with high bandwidth, huge space and much more..3) You have to have mysql support and also some scripting panels.4) You should allow subdomain in your server5) And finally you should promote your website.. :huh:

Why are you going to risk your machine and whatever else you would have to committ to this sub-domain Hosting Service when this is available for cheaper than a gallon of milk per week (sort of)? (at least at the price of milk around here)
Sure, it might be nice to say you have a hosting service running out of your bedroom (did that sound right?), but realistically, the machine would have to be dedicated 24/7 and the security risks are pretty huge if you fail to protect the system properly. But, whatever, it is your machine and all... Have fun...

hey you guys dont have to do that all you could do is to get a hosting script like wen.ru, its a wap host. Then all you have to do is go into the admin panel of your site and manage the sub domains that users have already made. and the scripts allows you to put the amount of banwidth you want to give to them and the space also. This would be like a automation script like Xisto.net. when users sign up for an account at your site they will automaticall be registered on your site and all you have to do is moniter your site ect.

right phoenix ive been doing reaserch on how to to this so if you want to make your own sub domain service with you own end extentions and this is what you need to do:

get a dedicated server with preferbaly unmeterd network path bandwidth and unlimited ip addresses

make sure the opperating is Windows Server 2003 professional eddition with MySQL installed

rdc the server and go into dhcp client or if you have downloaded your own ip address softwear use that

create 2 ip addresses for nameservers

get a domain name and set the nameservers to the ips you made

now you must go into dhcp or your own softwear and create an ip with a link like http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ or what ever you need and then set the link from the domain to the ip you created

then if all goes well it should work

hope that helped phoenix

You can Do it On Shared HostingHow Do U Make Your Own Subdomain Service

You can do this on shared hosting as long as the webhost allows wildcard subdomains.  I know bluehost doesn't allow it but hostgator.Com does.  See the http://scammed.us/ website for an example.

 Like any other site, you only need a dedicated server if your traffic grows enough to justify it.
