Hi all...
I plan to develop a Free Domain Name Service like .co.cc.
Actualy it's a free subdomain service.
For example, I use: xxx.tld.
Now,
1. how to create a subdomains (or virtual subdomains) using PHP+Mod Rewrite? Example: thedomain.xxx.tld
I mean, how to write it on .htaccess file using PHP? fwrite("...", w+);
2. How to make: the virtual subdomain can be added to different server using name server like .co.cc did? Example: ns1.otherserver.com and ns2.otherserver.com
Thank you.
that's a server function called cname. Most hosts support cnames.
Ask them how to set it up on yours or check their FAQ.
I have the access to WHM, so i can configure DNS.
I added this:
* IN 14400 IN A my_ip_addres_follwed_with"."
If this is solved than please click the solved button but if it's not then continue reading...
The only 2 ways I have known php to create subdomains is 1 - by getting php to edit the apache config file which I wouldn't recommend. The second option is to create a wildcard subdomain pointing the wildcard subdomain to a php script which can then process the actions.
not solved yet, the above step does not work. have u any idea?
Did you create a wildcard subdomain and make the php script sort the subdomains? for example the subdomain of example.com would be *.example.com
I did it.
* IN A xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx. // accepted by WHM
* IN CNAME domain.tld // rejected by WHMThen the .htaccess file contains these lines bellow:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?domain\.tld$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^.*$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.*?)\.(www\.)?domain\.tld$ [NC]No htaccess is needed for that wildcard domain but instead a single php file. You will be able to retrieve the subdomain entered with the $_SERVER; variable. So the user can enter any subdomain then the php script will receive it in that variable and you can preprocess it.
I'll try your nice suggestion, thanx mate...
Does it work like .co.cc?
Please read my case from the begining.
It works on any domain but are you trying to get wildcard tld's? Because the Top level domain (eg. .co.cc) cannot be changed automatically unless you have registered all combinations. But for subdomains it's a completely different story. If your trying to create infinit combination subdomains then my previous post describes how to do that.

FYI, actualy co.cc is not tld. The extension is .cc, and co is the domain. They offer free subdomain service.
That's why no external WHOIS for .co.cc.
That's why I'm hard to find subdomain solution on the net. Hopeful I'll find it here.

and where can I check his whois neither in co.cc local whois?
I checked it on .co.cc's local whois:
http://www.co.cc/whois/whois.php
Domain Name : obvioussiteisobvious.co.cc
Registrar : CO.CC, INC.
Whois Server : co.cc
Referral URL : http://www.co.cc
Name Server : NS1.CWARN23.INFO
Name Server : NS2.CWARN23.INFO
please imagine this:
[example]
there are a co.cc extension (in your mind).
please type on the address bar: http://co.cc
If .co.cc is an extension, where is the domain?
co.cc has a database of subdomains, and they are unique.
So, co is the domain, and the tld/extension is .cc

I want to create like it
Thanks for that. So it is a free subdomain service.
