You could try a rewrite rule in .htaccess

maybe something like this.

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^*.domain.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.*.domain.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]

of course change domain.com to your domain.

Good luck.

I would suggest speaking to your host to be honest...

I cant seem to find the guide you're talking about.

http://www.cpanel.net/docs/cp/index.html

Have a look at the docs above and if your host has enabled he feature, you will be able to assign a dedicxated IP and change the dns records.

cPanel

OK so whats the control paenl? cPanel, Ensim, HELM?

Citizen — Fri, 25 Mar 2005 06:10:43 +0000

I do have access to the control panel.

OK it really depends if you have access to a conmtrol panel for the domain. If you can't do the above through the panel, simply ask your host to do it for you...

It won't cost them anything and should take less than 5 minutes...

Quote: You need to set the site up on its own dedicated IP. Then add a A record with a * pointing to that IP.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean or how to do that. I'm a newbie at server stuff.

You need to set the site up on its own dedicated IP. Then add a A record with a * pointing to that IP. Finally use a bit of server side script to grab the subdomain. Not sure how you would do it in PHP but with ColdFusion you would simply do:

<cfset tAccountToProcess = ListFirst(CGI.SSERVER_NAME, ".")>
<cvoutput>Hello, #tAccountToProcess#, welcome to the site!</cfpoutput>
