Right now, it is much easier to create directories in a script. You can't exactly do that with subdomains yet because they are hosted on DNS servers separate from the http server. That makes subdomain structure intrinsically much more valuable - it's guaranteed to be created by a human.
Maybe the nextgen frameworks will incorporate an easy way to create subdomains via a script?

- chime 15y agoNah, subdomains aren't any different from directories. You can easily setup wildcard subdomains and all of them run off the same code base. I can easily have username.mysite.com show the user's profile the moment a user signs up. No changes to any servers needed.
- dangrossman 15y agoYou don't have to create separate subdomains, you just create the *.example.com. subdomain and point it to your document root. You've never used a site that assigns each user a subdomain? There's no human editing a config file for that.
