Is this possible to access controllers not only by site.com/controller and have something like this: controller.site.com?
Thanks!

This is about redirecting user. I hate redirecting! Though, in the CPanel I have options for it. Anyway to access controller without redirecting via subdoamin? like: controller.domain.com will be same as domain.com/controller
Thanks!

I would use mod_rewrite rules to the effect of (.*).domain.com/(.*) index.php/$1/$2

Thanks Colin! What is this mod_rewrite and how to implement it? I googled it, but I didn't find anything interesting...

It's an Apache module that lets you rewrite URI requests. I'm not sure what Google you used
but my search for "mod_rewrite" returns the best resource I know of: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/mod/mod_rewrite.html

Also, the Router class is the ultimate controller in CI, so you could overload one or some of it's methods in your own MY_Router.php library and sniff out the subdomain before validating and routing the request

I use a sub-domain on this site http://iching.justjoolz.com and for me
it was not easy to setup.
In my http://localhost I have a path to c:/www/iching/index.php and online I have http://iching.justjoolz.com/index.php
index.php - common to both sites
Code:
...
define('LOCALHOST', 'localhost' === $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']);
...
...
$system_folder = "ci_system"; // Default - ver: 1.63
if (LOCALHOST) {
$system_folder = "../ci_system";
}
// http://iching.justjoolz.com
if (strpos($_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'], 'justjoolz')) {
$system_folder = "../ci_system"; // ver: 1.63
}
...
...
$application_folder = 'iching'; // http://iching.justjoolz.com/iching
if (LOCALHOST) {
$application_folder = '../iching';
}
// http://iching.johns-jokes.com
if (strpos($_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'], 'jokes')) {
$application_folder = 'http://iching.johns-jokes.com'; // online setting
}
// echo '$application_folder --> ' .$application_folder ; die;
...
...Needless to say my config.php was setup with trial and error, if you want a copy let me know.
