Wildcard subdomain hosting?

MAZICJA · Mar 1, 2018

How do I host my wild card subdomains such that the main website automatically creates a subdomain website for all new clients in the format CLIENT.MYWEBSITE.COM. I have a website built with PHP such that once a client registers it automatically creates a subdomain for the client in the format CLIENT.MYWEBSITE.COM. I need assistance on how to host the site. Several web hosting companies I have contacted said they cannot do it but I know this is doable.

It really depends on your software and what you want to accomplish.

What kind of website access are you giving your clients? Do you want them to have some kind of control panel and FTP access, or are you simply giving them some kind of web gui access?

With a control panel like cPanel, I'm not sure about how you can configure a wildcard subdomain.
But on a basic LEMP stack with Nginx, you can directly set a wildcard in the vhost configuration like this :

Code:

server {

    server_name yourdomain.tld   *.yourdomain.tld;
...
...


}

If you have a wildcard cert, you should also just be able to apply individually to each of your sub-domains in whatever control panel or software you are using, if it restricts you to do it that way.
