Can I use Wildcard DNS to create subdomain for each my user?

[Mhari]

Hi,
 
I just want to automatically create a new subdomain in my domain for users that have registered and redirect it to example his profile (his username as a subdomain ex: username.mydomain.com)
 
I have search tutorials for it and I found to add new A Record that use wildcard for name.
i found in stackoverflow like shown below:

 

Is heliohost support for this?
 
I have setup it as below:
 
this is my A Record
 

 
 
and htaccess:

 

 

 

and index file:

 

 

and the result my browser got redirected in this page when I use https:

 

 

and this page when I not use https:

 

 

 

please any solution for this ?

thanks for reading and answering

HelioHost uses cPanel, you'd need to manually add records.

 

I recommend just creating a subfolder.

 

<domain>/~<user>/

 

Wildcard DNS does not exist btw.

You could use a script to create the subdomain through cpanel.

it might could help. but actually i looking for the alternative of it. 

i mean if user register in my site he will have his own profile page address as a subdomain (like user.masaeng.ga) that not created in the cPanel but as another alias of my domain and i can easily costumize what will be dispayed there (and dynamic data such as users data) and does not require me to get into cpanel (also not fulling up my subdomain list in cpanel).

please do you have any solutions for this case? such as directing in htaccess or whatever 

 

any help would be helpful for me

Try this guide https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/edu/cpanel/cpanel-manage-domains/create-wildcard-subdomain It should be possible. I think you're missing the step where you create a subdomain through cpanel named *.

[Mhari]

its working when i visit as (whatever).masaeng.ga

 

but i not sure it is working properly because when i write php code there, the code was not run (it is displayed on the source page)

 

 

also on that guide the code in .htaccess file in not available. then how i get it such as masaeng.ga/index.php?u=mhari as mhari.masaeng.ga

 

any solution please

[Krydos]

Try this guide then for the .htaccess https://stackoverflow.com/a/15334516

There you go http://krydos.masaeng.ga/ and http://hari.masaeng.ga/

 

To start php use this opening tag

<?php

Your code had

<php

Which is missing the ?

[Mhari]

Oh my god.. 

 

thank you.. its now working properly 

 

then, is it possible to make it be https for each ?

Hi,

HTTPS will be automatically enabled in all domains/subdomain by CPanel AutoSSL, with a certificate issued by CPanel Inc. and trusted by all browsers.

[wolstech]

I'm not sure how the subdomains are being implemented here. If they're actually being added to cPanel, maicol07 is correct, they'll get a certificate within 24 hours of creation. If they're implemented some other way, they might not.

[Krydos]

You would have to buy a wildcard ssl certificate https://www.namecheap.com/security/ssl-certificates/wildcard.aspx?aff=102467 in order to cover all of your subdomains that aren't added to cpanel. If you created each subdomain through cpanel then autossl would cover each subdomain within 24 hours after creation.

[Mhari]

Ok,, I just want to know.

 

I think that's more than enough

 

Thank you very much!

Hi, 

 

I am found a problem

 

the urls after the domain are ignored

for example main.masaeng.ga/haha/hihi/huhu/hoho.php will still in main.masaeng.ga/index.php

I mean whatever I write after the domain it would be ignored and show me index.php page.

 

I think this problem appear because something wrong in my .htaccess file

 

here is the file :

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !index\.php
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.+?)\.masaeng\.ga$
RewriteRule .* /index.php?u=%1 [L]

anyone know what the wrong is?

please tell me since I do not really understand the code

thanks in advance
