Why Hosting Companies charge for subdomains
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Adding multiple and infinite sub-domains is a matter of:
add what I marked in bold at httpd.conf
and to add a wildcard in the DNS.
<VirtualHost *>
ServerName
www.example.com
ServerAlias example.com *.example.com
What are the reasons, that maybe I'm ignoring, so that Hosting Companies charge for subdomains or limit the subdomain to a fixed number ?
Control Panels limitations ?
Something else ?
I'm speaking of a situation where
httppoint.example.com/httppoint.gif and example.com/httppoint.gif point to the same file on the server so basically the configuration is like the one I posted before.
So once done is done forever without having to hack the server again...or rebooting apache...
