Well, Firstly it is not allowed.

Secondly, to provide such advanced service, you need a server.

I've wanted to start a similar service too. I want to offer a free redirection service. How can I do this? Do I need to get a new dedicated server or could I do it from my regular hosting account.

I am really interested in this question so I would be very grateful if you could answer me. Also I'm looking forward to receibing a solution to my problem.

don't you first need ot register the "something dot something" before doing anything?

The domains that you listed are only two letters long which could cost you hundreds of thousands of dollars to purchase and the domains extensions that you listed would be very difficult to register if you are able to do so at all. If you are planning to offer hosting it isn't a very good idea to use a free host to do it, instead you should purchase a dedicated server or a reseller hosting plan from a hosting company.

Not entirely true. It could be done on a shared server - although you probably need a unique IP address (which doesn't require a dedicated server).

Anyway... as has been mentioned, doing something like this will cost a bit of money to get off the ground. In other words, if you are looking for free hosting at Trap17, you probably aren't going to be able to do it.

Now that they have gotten over the technical requirements, here is how you would do it, not specific enough because I actualy couldn't tell you what to do, but here goes. In your webserver configuratin file there is a portion dedectated to subdomains. You would need to make a php (or otherwise) frontend so that when a user added a new subdomain it would make the change in the webserver conf file, thus activating the web hosting. You would also tell all pages on your website to redirect to a particular page, meaning using a particular edit tell all but the administration pages and home page to go to a redirection page, now on that page there would be a script that would say where is this page coming from? check a database and from that database using the header function (in php) you would send the user to that page. That however wouldn't cloak the users address. In my mind the easiest way to cloak the users address would be to set a frame the same size as the window with the url to the one the user typed, and a source of the one the user specified.

But like I said that is all in theory I couldn't tell you how to do this in detail

It is far easier than that. I believe there are various scripts floating around the web that make it easy to do, but regardless, you don't do it by editing your server configuration files. Ever. That is time consuming, difficult and dangerous.

The way I would do it is by adding an 'A' record to my domain pointing to my server's IP address and handle all requests via a script by looking at the 'Host' header. But that's just what I'd do.

For Fun

You wouldn't even need an Ip address. Just a webhost that supports unlimited subdomains. (Or you can do it like... domain.com/user_site) A domain and alot of bandwith too...

The way I would do it... Use PHP, just because that's like the only code I know other then html...

Have some html code that will put the variable of the domain name as the %100 frame. So if someone inputs the data--www.google.com Your script would put that value into your frame that covers the whole page, then create the subdomain google and put that code into google.domain.com, named index.html
This wouldn't redirect... but would open www.google.com if you went to google.domain.com

You could also:
Just have a small html redirection script and as the index.html put that instead of the frame. It's actually pretty simple to do, except it would be hard to keep track of all of the domains and abuse....

For example: RoadRunner blocks .tk domains because there are a lot of them which just can't be kept track of (The content)...

right phoenix ive been doing reaserch on how to to this so if you want to make your own sub domain service with you own end extentions and this is what you need to do:

get a dedicated server with preferbaly unmeterd network path bandwidth and unlimited ip addresses
make sure the opperating is Windows Server 2003 professional eddition with MySQL installed
rdc the server and go into dhcp client or if you have downloaded your own ip address softwear use that
create 2 ip addresses for nameservers
get a domain name and set the nameservers to the ips you made
now you must go into dhcp or your own softwear and create an ip with a link like www.yordomain.co.ep or what ever you need and then set the link from the domain to the ip you created
then if all goes well it should work

hope that helped phoenix

hey you guys dont have to do that all you could do is to get a hosting script like wen.ru, its a wap host. Then all you have to do is go into the admin panel of your site and manage the sub domains that users have already made. and the scripts allows you to put the amount of banwidth you want to give to them and the space also. This would be like a automation script like trap17.net. when users sign up for an account at your site they will automaticall be registered on your site and all you have to do is moniter your site ect.

Why are you going to risk your machine and whatever else you would have to committ to this sub-domain Hosting Service when this is available for cheaper than a gallon of milk per week (sort of)? (at least at the price of milk around here)
Sure, it might be nice to say you have a hosting service running out of your bedroom (did that sound right?), but realistically, the machine would have to be dedicated 24/7 and the security risks are pretty huge if you fail to protect the system properly. But, whatever, it is your machine and all... Have fun...

You can make your own subdoamin by
1) You should take a server from a nice server provider..
2) You should make the server with high bandwidth, huge space and much more..
3) You have to have mysql support and also some scripting panels.
4) You should allow subdomain in your server
5) And finally you should promote your website..
