I have started a free sub-domain service and it already has over 30 of my domains to choose from (probably over 100 of mine soon), and around 15 domains have been added by others, but I am looking for more!
Would anyone be interested? Your main domain will still work completely (
http://www.example.com or
http://example.com), but people will be able to create sub-domains of it. Obviously any sub-domains that you want you get number one priority with. Also if you have a limit on number of sub-domains you can create in cPanel, that will become irrelevant. There is no performance impact on your site.
By doing this, all traffic through your sub-domains will count towards your domain's traffic ranking. If people link to the sub-domains (which they will because they are promoting their site), that will increase your PR (with some luck), which will ultimately raise traffic to your website.
I would prefer to not force ads on any of the sub-domain users (I won't be with any of my domains), but if you have a particularly interesting/good domain I would consider forcing users to have a small frame at the top of the page linking to your site.
Make a post if you have any questions at all, or if you want to work something out
with what api are you working?
what EXACTLY will i have to install in my server?
or i have to do everything manually?
I've got OpenFileHost.com. I'm interested in using that for this.
But how exactly would I do this?

Think of co.nr but with loads of domains to choose from.

I am using a highly modified version of the same script that co.nr uses. I am licensed to do so. You install nothing. You change your domain's name servers. If you want to host a site on the main domain you have to tweak your hosting slightly, if you don't want to host a site on the main domain, theres no need. There is no downtime of your site, and I do the rest

Drop me a PM and we'll get it sorted as soon as possible
Ok, well we'd have to talk about this more. But I have XeroPrime.com, if you're interested.
Definitely sounds like a great domain to add to the list Elegant Totality
What exactly did you want to discuss? If you would prefer to talk in private, then feel free to drop me a PM.

Just to clarify, the entire process of creating new sub-domains is entirely automated.
Hmmm. Do i need to chnaged registrars?
Basically you're running a dns server?
What is the script?

No, you can keep your domain with the same registrar, all that is required is a change of name servers. You can also continue hosting your main domain on your own server. When you add a domain to the service, nothing changes apart from that people can now register sub-domains of your domain, hopefully increasing your traffic ranking, and ultimately your traffic.
Here's a the list of domains currently using the service -

It's a redirection service, new sub-domains are created on the fly and visitors are handled by PHP. No DNS gets changed for new sub-domains.
The script that I am using is a modified version of a script called Lounge Redirect, which is no longer supported by the author unfortunately. Most websites that offer this service use some version of that script.
