:stop What is the difference between a directory and a subdomain ?

Hi all,

I know this sounds very very lame... however I still would like to know the following.

I know there is a difference between a directory and a sub domain for the purpose of SEO... Now I would like to use .htaccess as to create virtual subdomains... now I understand creating sub domains that you need the wildcard DNS to be established on the DNS side but is it the same when you setup a virtual subdomain using the .htaccess rewrite...

I can create a subdomain the normal way...
I can create a directory ;)

example:

www.prismvod.com/index.html <--- this gets index just fine

www.prismvod.com/member-name/their-site.html (just a directory & not a subdomain) <--- will not get picked up... I will like this to be not just a directory but a virtual sub domain and I don't want to mess with the DNS wild card...


I don't want to create regular sub domains but rather virtual sub domains because I do not have access to setup the wild card on the DNS server...

I am using afraid.org DNS service since my webserver is on a dynamic IP connection...

Since I would like to use a php script as to create virtual sub domains I would also like to know if such needs for the wild card feature on the DNS server to be accessed for the virtual sub domain...

Any how-to advice is welcomed.

Thanks for your interest,

.
