Hello,
So I got my .asia domain and someone suggested that I should provide a subdomain service which I thought would be a good idea. Don't want it to be among a million domains in afraid.org so I thought I should do it on my own.
Basically I just need something for which a user would be able to register for a subdomain and point it to his/her own domain/IP (like a CNAME/A record).
Anyone has seen something similar before?

@zhuanyi Get a VPS server with MyDNS and build something yourself? Simple MySQL queries to update the DNS records on your end.
Never actually had a look around MyDNS, but you can do that right? ^^

0 • Disagree Agree ThanksWhy not use the hostingtool, setup subdomain hosting with kloxo and minimal storage like 10mb or $hits? This way they can do a bit more with their domain and your search is over. You can also offer premium hosting if needed ;)
Time is good and also bad. Life is short and that is sad. Dont worry be happy thats my style. No matter what happens i won't lose my smile!

I think they stopped developing it :P

0 • Disagree Agree ThanksYes, this comes default with CP....
Well, I guess my point is, I don't expect to generate any revenue on this project (just for fun, really), and if I do not get any revenue, I should not be spending 7.50 per month for it (I have a VPS from them so I would call that sunk cost), right?

0 • Disagree Agree ThanksI guess knowing MySQL is the easy part (I had to use MS SQL a lot in my previous job)...PHP? Next to none haha :)
We'll see how that goes, may be I'll just decide to pay @jshinkle a bit more :)

0 • Disagree Agree ThanksI've been creating something similar and have come up with this using a wildcard in bind;
Then with your index.php read the $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'], look up your database and redirect using;

0 • Disagree Agree ThanksThis, however, is HTTP-based redirecting. The TO wants DNS-based redirecting, afaik.
