Individual subdomains

[gmaister22]

Does anyone know how how to make many sub domains to use an individual blog page?

like eric.domain.com will be different than john.domain.com, individual.

so eric can login to his blog page at eric.domain.com and john at john.domain.com and then, what ever they post into their page it would be automatically posted into the main forums and/or the opposite.....


any ideas?

If your site has cPanel, you can cr8 sub-domains and assign it a password. That way each user can log in to manage only his sub-domain

oh nice!
but how to create different blogs into different sub domains?

[ItsmYarD]

Each sub-domain would have it's directory in public_html

Example you create john.yourdomain.com
in public_html there would be a directory named john and you add your blog files in there.

that means i have to do like if i have 100 different subdomains, 100 different installations? 100 databases? the VPS is gonna freak out! and then how will the posts sync with the main forums?

so when john will post a tutorial at the forum (since its a tutorial site) it will be also shown at his personal subdomain automatically and the opposite, when he posts at his personal domain blog it will ask him to choose the correct category at the forum, or something like that

You would need a dedi for that. As far as I know, you would need 100 diff installations, 100 databases and 100 diff subdomains but hey I might be wrong.

[gmaister22]

erm there should be a way to do it :/

[ItsmYarD]

Would the blog be running wordpress?

you can just create sub domains and the server will place a folder in public called

subdomain.mydomain.com

and you can install w.e you want in there, if your server can handle 100 databases then go ahead,, you dont even need 100 databases you can install on the same database with different prefix
