In localhost you can make entry of subdomain in "hosts" file at dir of C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc (it may be at /etc of linux)

127.0.0.1       maindomain.com
127.0.0.1       one.maindomain.com
127.0.0.1       two.maindomain.com

After that you have to make entry in httpd.conf file

<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:80>

DocumentRoot pathToMainDomain
ServerName maindomain.com
</VirtualHost>



<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:80>

DocumentRoot pathToMainDomain

ServerName one.maindomain.com
</VirtualHost>



<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:80>

DocumentRoot pathToMainDomain
ServerName two.maindomain.com
</VirtualHost>

hi @prashant M thanks alot for your reply. I this is to create multiple virtual hosts. But in my casse it is not the exact thing which I am looking for. `Dynamically creating sub domain` that is what i needed. Anyways **thanks alot.** – thomas chacko Dec 08 '14 at 07:01

if you want I can clarify my question. say a user signed up in my site(`example.com`) and creates a micro site as he wishes say `user1` is his name then the micro site name would created as `user1.example.com` and it should happen dynamically. Since creating virtual host again and again is not practical, I am following this way. please help – thomas chacko Dec 08 '14 at 10:31
