Maximum subdomain can be create

hi DP senior.

i have some question lately because i make site like friendster/facebook but i want to added subdomain as additional domain instead only www.mydomain.com/user/index.php?user=jemmie... i want to make it more like http://jemmie.mydomain.com

my question is how Much exactly subdomain can be created?
is only 999.999 or more?

what is the problem i'll face if i have millions of users? is subdomain not an answer for this?

i create subdomain using cpanel function.

Thank You.

 

u can create n number of subdomains.. there is no restiction

 

You can create as many subdomains as your hosting allows.

 

thanks for the info

 

and you want to create 1.000.000 subdomains with cpanel? Try some dynamic approach like php or something.

 

I think your Apache web server will be crashed if you create millions sub-domains. I don't think one server can handle millions sub-domains.

Its very simple.

- Add A Record for *.yourdomain.com pointing to your Web - Host (No need, if you use your web-host's nameservers)
- Enable Wildcard Subdomain Alias for your domain in your web-hosting account (You may require assistance from your web-host)

The ServerAlias statement enables Wildcard support for your domain. From now on, your Apache vHost will react on non-existent subdomains.

- Add the following lines to your .htaccess

Now, Apache will serve the page http://www.yourdomain.com/user/index.php?user=jimme for jimme.yourdomain.com

All the best.
