Adding mass subdomains - Possible?
 

Is it possible to add like 200 subdomains to a domain using cPanel or some other solution VERY easily?

The easiest way for you would be to ask your host to do it :1orglaugh

I spam google and love it !:1orglaugh

I'm on a dedicated server, so most likely, my host won't do it.

'Most likely'

If you dont ask, you 'most likely' will never find out ;)

Use domain wildcards and *.domain.com can resolve to your IP

Won't quite work for me since I need each subdomain to be a unique website.

yes with webair's proprietary control panel
shoot me an e-mail and ill send you a demo :thumbsup

Move your sites over here.... if you have a dedicated server here, whether you have a control panel or want it done manually, yes is the answer to "Will you add subdomains for me on my dedicated or virtual hosting account?".

What you should do is this....

make a list of the subdomains you want.... one at a time on a single line:

joe.blah.com
mary.blah.com
thebomb.blah.com
james.blah.com
boooyah.blah.com
lemonaid.blah.com
somethingspecial.blah.com

then, using a grep and gawk, make the httpd.conf file additions you need...

Put those in a file on your server. Name the file: domains.txt
then, put this script on your server....

#!/bin/sh

# Set IP to the IP of the virtual host IP they will share...
IP="216.188.82.251"
PWD=`pwd`

cat domains.txt | sort -u |gawk '{print "mkdir " $1 "; \
mkdir " $1 "/public_html; mkdir " $1 "/cgi-bin"}' > makeall.sh
chmod 0755 makeall.sh; ./makeall.sh

echo "NameVirtualHost '$IP'" >> /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
cat domains.txt | sort -u | gawk '{ \
print "<VirtualHost '$IP'>\n" \
"DocumentRoot '$PWD'/" $1 "/public_html\n" \
"ScriptAlias /cgi-bin '$PWD'/" $1 "/cgi-bin\n" \
"ServerAlias " $1 " *." $1 "\n" \
"ServerName www." $1 "\n" \
"ErrorDocument 404 /404.html?\n" \
"</VirtualHost>\n\n" \
}' >> /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

This will APPEND your httpd.conf file with the virtual domains you need.

To see what it will add without actually doing it, run it without the ending command... remove: >> /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf


#!/bin/sh

IP="216.188.82.251"
PWD=`pwd`

cat domains.txt | sort -u |gawk '{print "mkdir " $1 "; \
mkdir " $1 "/public_html; mkdir " $1 "/cgi-bin"}' > makeall.sh
chmod 0755 makeall.sh; ./makeall.sh

echo "NameVirtualHost '$IP'" >> /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
cat domains.txt | sort -u | gawk '{ \
print "<VirtualHost '$IP'>\n" \
"DocumentRoot '$PWD'/" $1 "/public_html\n" \
"ScriptAlias /cgi-bin '$PWD'/" $1 "/cgi-bin\n" \
"ServerAlias " $1 " *." $1 "\n" \
"ServerName www." $1 "\n" \
"ErrorDocument 404 /404.html?\n" \
"</VirtualHost>\n\n" \
}'
