Free subdomain creators..?

[chrisclick]

Are there any scripts in the www out there that allow people to fill in some details in a form and then it is sent and then the subdomain they wanted it created with FTP, EMAIL and such?

For more details its something like a free host. this would be really handy.

Im using CPanel X if that is what they require.

Thanks

Ask the support at your webhost!

^ I've asked them but they said to look over Hotscripts.com...

^That would probs be hard Im guessing, as you would have to set up the DNS, Mail server etc etc, unless you find a program that can eb easily configued, but for security reason I dont think its a good idea, unless you know what your doing-

I suppose you could do it with a more powerful server-side language, python or something like that. But the script would have to know how your normal FTP and E-Mail users are created.

Ok, so after hours, and hours AND HOURS of searching. I found a possible one. Just testing it now.

It says in the features that it hosts forums (phpBB2) and free hosting...

So ill give it a try. :P

Well, what a waste of space that was.

i konw media temple allows you to create sub domains on the fly but just adding in a folder with a certain name.

You could use php to create that folder. I also know that some hosts allow the type of sub domain creation.

^Hes not with media template so.

[deletedUser2352352]

i just thought i'd mention it as some host do allow that sort. An his/her host may allow it to

You can use CURL (http://www.php.net/curl) in php to post the form data required in cpanel... so it would be like you going into cpanel and creating the subdomain, but php doing it :P

thanks, I havent tried CURL yet, but bugboy. No. My host doesnt allow me because it has to set up all the DNS
