To create dynamic domains, also called wildcard domains, with a Hostgator web hosting account, do the following:
1. Within your cpanel click to add a new subdomain.
2. Call the subdomain * (yes, just an asterisk).
3. For the document root use the root domain (public_html). If the dynamic subdomains are for an add-on domain, then the document root will be public_html/youraddondomain.com.
That’s it.
Now, you can refer to a subdomain and it is automatically created on the fly. Such as using the WordPress WP subdomains plugin to create subdomains out of pages.
