    It might need to be dedicated, not sure - basically you have all subdomains use the httpdocs/public_html of your main domain. Then you can use PHP, ASP, etc, to check the URL.

    you need a host that is willing to give you a wildcard subdomain...

    Basically, they set up *.yourdomain.com to point to one location, and then you'll need your script to pick up the '*' bit and show appropriate content.

    For example:

    rihanna.un-official.info
    hilary-duff.un-official.info

    I use mphosting.net for my wildcard subdomain, but I've got to say they're not the most reliable hosts I know

    I use PowerVPS to do my redirects. They've been really good.

    Ha! Tell you what, I'll trade you my secret for your PR spider! :)

    Probably a far more sophisticated way of doing it, but this was me learning PHP, wildcard subdomains and easy to generate celeb sites!

    I, uh, might have a few ideas for you to, uh, play with. Any chance of continuing this conversation through PM or starting a new thread altogether as you have already answered this one.

    What we are about to talk about is a different subject altogether. PMsent
