Help! Kinda like making a website hoster, but with the subdomains...

[Scientist]

So its like freewebs.com, they make an account and its basically a subdomain, www.subdomain.freewebs.com

Only one thing, freewebs does not give their own password and let people actually manally use the control panel to make their own ftp account or sometihg like that!

Its some sort of FORM that they need to fill out to make the sub domain happen... How can I do the same? I relaly want to make my won personal web host, without having to pay for the reseller.

I"m tihnking this has to do with Php, so PLEASE! PLEASE HELP!

You know freewebs.com? When you fill out the forms, it somehow makes a subdomain without actually having to manually log into the control panel and manually make a subdomain and ftp.

It makes www.yournamehere.freewebs.com

How can I do the same without letting people actually having my password and getting into my own control panel? With forms or something.. ANYTHING! just please help!

Use the DirectAdmin API (http://www.directadmin.com/api) to create the subdomains.

Umm... Its really confusing me. Its there a specific code or something or a little kick to help me udnerstand this?

There's lots of discussion on it in these forums and also on the DA knowledgebase.

Teach you how to program with PHP and use the API?

That's beyond the scope of these forums.

If it's beyond your ability you can always advertise for a programmer in the Help Wanted section of the forums.
