Hi,
Well I know making sub-Domains is possible and Its pretty easy as well.
Well what I wanted to know is Can one make Sub-Domains Online?
Well,What I mean to say Is,can a person make sub-Domains via a Website Rather than a Control panel.
I mean Is there a way where we can actually make direct changes to the /htdocs directory via The url(Example.com).
For Example:
I want to make a sub-domain to Example.com
The sub-Domain is 123.Example.com
and I want to do this through Example.com and not the control Panel.
I know this is a tricky subject but any leads would Help.
Thanks! :)

I believe the control panel is also web based.

Take a look into the cPanel API.

You can do this with the cPanel API, or you can look into wildcard subdomains

I'm guessing if you make the sub-domain an ftp account then it just add's the files manually then then type in 123.example.com/newfolder then set it up manually,thats what i'm guessing

Pretty easy to do...
Wild card domain (*.example.com)
Then in Apache enable mod_vhost_alias with (http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_vhost_alias.html)
All you need to do is create a directory for each subdomain you want.

How is it that Go Daddy changed the term 'host name' to 'sub domain' and everyone seems to listen? I'm I the only one that has a problem with this? Or is it that people don't fully understand DNS?

Use wildcards with apache. And make sure you have wildcards also set in BIND DNS server.
Not that difficult if you know what you are doing.

If you have WHM you can though Edit DNS Zones. You can do this automaticly though the WHM API if you needed.

All you need to do is create a directory for each subdomain you want.
Can you elaborate how to do that?
