Hello,

I'm not sure if this question has come by before, but I was wondering if I could get some help creating virtual subdomains. I've searched everywhere over the Internet and have tried most things I've come accross but nothing seems to work.
Also I have contacted my hosting support who, I think, don't have a clue in how to do it. They also say that virtual subdomains are enabled but to create them you have to go through cPanel and a problem with this also is that it creates a directory in the root folder.
I'm just wondering if I would be able to get some sort of virtual subdomain automation. So as soon as a user signs up, they are able to access their page at "http://[username].website.com".
And also being redirected to their page internally like what mod_rewrite does.

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /journal\.php?action=view&user=[username] [L]

Something like that. But of course, the above example won't work.
Just wondering if anyone had any ideas or could help me get something working.

Thank you.
