Imagine you are hosting 10.000 subdomains. ---- SOLUTION #1: you create directories like: a/ b/ ... s/ s/some-subdomain.freehosting.com/ (this includes CONF.php, where you store some basic infos) Everytime visitor hits the page you do: @include('t/test-subdomain.freehosting.com/conf.php') if (!isset($CONF)) die('such a subdomain does not exist'); ---- SOLUTION #2: Everytime visitor hits the page you connect & search in a MySQL table having 10.000 rows with each domain name and a text field (export_var()) that has some parameters you need. --- What's better?
