How to create/use a virtual subdomain
Hi, I am new to PHP. In fact I have managed to avoid using it at all.
I would like to know how to do something like what these guys have done here:
http://santa.clause.swellserver.com/news/top_stories/auto80.php
The sub domains can be changed to anything at all, and the page picks them up.
The reason I would like to know this is that my host charges me for every new subdomain I want to create.
I would like to be able to use this method which is more of a "virtual" subdomain.
The only thing is I would still like to be using ASP coding on the same page, but even still, if you can answer the original question of "how it is done" you can share the points.

I can't afford to change hosts at this stage because of the down time in between. I would have to talk to my clients and let them know what I am doing first. Besides I have been using my host for some time, and until now they have been pretty good.
But getting back to the topic. Does anyone know how the virtual subdomain in the following link is captured?

change the subdomains as you please to see what I mean.
