: Redirect/rewrite dynamic URL to sub-domain and create DNS for subdomain I have created an application in PHP, I would like to re-direct the following URL to corresponding sub-domain. Dynamic

@Miguel251

You need to use a wildcard DNS rule for the subdomains, then you can do a rewrite rule to redirect that link to the correct domain.

Information on this can be found here: www.thecpaneladmin.com/setting-up-wildcard-dns-with-cpanel/
You will need access to the configuration files so it may not be easy depending on your host and hosting plan.

Take a look at this thread over at webmaster world

You'll need to create:-


A DNS mapping: *.yourdomain.com => your IP
A server alias *.yourdomain.com in your virtualhost configuration


.htaccess file with something like:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^user.example.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /user [R=301,L]


You can replace user with ([a-z]) and use it in the rewriteRule. That way you can have a general mapping: something.yourdomain.com => yourdomain.com/user, even if the user isn't signed up to your site.
