First, you need wildcard DNS set up, a web server willing to accept all the hostnames, and just a couple lines of PHP in your controller:

Code:

<?php
// like, such as, 'maps.example.com'
$host = strtolower($this->input->server('HTTP_HOST'));

// and now we'll get: array('maps', 'example', 'com');
$account = explode('.', $host);

// if there's a subdomain, and it's not 'www'... then that's the account name.
$account = (count($account) > 2 && $account[0] != 'www') ? array_shift($account) : false;

Thanks man, would this script be inserted into a function? Also would this mean that your webserver I assume allows a WildCard DNS?
