I've been looking all over for subdomain redirects. My case is slightly different than yours. My problem is that I need to carry over the name of the subdomain to the new rewrite rule. So I have several blogs on one server with Wordpress MU and i need to redirect *.mysite.com to *.mysite.com/wpmu One problem is I have to deal with www.mysite.com AND john.mysite.com and bill.mysite.com etc. for all of the blogs. So I already have rewrite rules to redirect all requests starting with "www" to go to "mysite.com". But how do I redirect all dynamically created subdomains to subdomain.mysite.com/wpmu ? Thanks in advance for any help. Nick Great article! I’ve been looking all over for subdomain redirects. My case is slightly different than yours.

But Blogspot is the best. I think this is not unique solution, everyone is working with somekind of subdomains (i mean on blog services). But Blogspot is the best.

It queries the database looking for a post with the same slug, then displays that post. If it can't find it then it just displays the main page (index.php).

I always had that doubt, when I saw websites like yourname.justgotowned.com By the way, talking about "/my-blog-post/" I have always been wondering how Wordpress or most blog systems do that redirection. I know how to do it manually, in .htaccess , but I think that in the case of Wordpress / blog posts it is done automatically. How is that possible?
