I might just be stupid, but is there a way a user can add sub domains without my help, like from the control panel? I.e.:
domain is www.test.com
can the user create new.test.com? Is this possible.? Thanks!

I seem to remember ways to do it via wildcards and/or some httpd.conf mods, but there are also some nifty add-on control panels that add that and a slew of other features that might be worthwhile looking at.

It would have been helpful if I had bookmarked them so I could post some URLs... *but* I didn't. They are members here so if they see this, maybe you'll get a few PMs/Emails

Autocontrol Pro from directphp.com does the trick.

But since it also does a lot of other tricks, at $ 299.- for a one server license there might be a cheaper alternative to add subdomains

I need this too.

I found here http://www.raqsetup.com/forum/viewtopic.php?topic=16&forum=1&2 a way how to make wildcard DNS, when you've done that you only have to make a little script that should 'redirect' to the right folder.

PS: I didn't tested it yet, but I will.
