[webcenter]

Hi,

I'm looking for hosting that will provide my customer with temp subdomain (customer_login.hosting.tld) or /customer_login directory. Do you know any ?

Why do you want temporary subdomain? I think almost every hosting provider could provide such hosting service.

ask around by contacting them via info in their sigs, some might provide this.

I need to setup my client website. THey will use temp subdomain to access site and add content. THey still can't make up their mind for final domain name.

Look to H-Sphere hosts. Configured correctly when a customer signsup they will be issued a domain as user_login.XXX.hosting_provider.XXX

This extends to resellers also where their domain would be used for the hosting_provider.XXX part of the URL.

This is called an Instant Access domain.
Allows users to access their domains from the Internet using provider's domain name.
You can use instant domain alias for the first several days after the domain name is registered, but isn't yet available.
Domains with dedicated IP do not need this feature, as they are accessible at their IP address.
To enable such instant access, click the OFF button to turn it ON next to the Instant access domain alias field. The name of the alias appears.
An example of an Instant Access Domain Alias would be the following:
u728.d6.providersdomain.com, where:
u728 is the code of the user, and
d6 is the code of the box where the site is located.

By the way this is automatic and included in the welcome message. No special configeration or waiting for someone to setup.

Plesk allows you to login from any URL.. so https://your-company:8443 will allow them to log in. There is a button within the control panel to let them preview their site.

I also posted a tutorial here on how to make shortcuts to Plesk.

Hope that helps
