How can i create subdomain?

Basically, I want a new user that signs up to my website to have a homepage: username.domain.com
as well as sub directories as: username.domain.com/journal

If anyone knows, please let me know, I couldn't find the solution

and if you were to have searches the forums.

you want information on Wildcard subdomains (i'm assuming your using an apache server).

Do you have cPanel on your server? If so, it is very easy to setup a subdomain using that. If not, check with your web host. They may have a knowledge base that walks you through how to set one up on their server.

i think he wants wildcard subdomains - like if you want to run blog management or rent out space - instead of just creating http://mydomain.com/userPage/ he/she wants http://userPage.mydomain.com/

the problem is not setting them up by hand ( i suspect ) it is generating them via a registration script or off a submission form (i.e via php)
