Hi
Is anyone able to please help me achieve custom urls for my profile based website.
I want to provide users with their own domain for example:
www.myprofilewebsite.com/username
Is this a server side scripting issue or is there a better? or easier way around this?
Many thanks

Assuming you are running a Linux based server, you will need to use something called mod_rewrite. By adding a couple of lines in an .htaccess file you upload into the directory, you could essentially rewrite URLs. For example, you can change www.site.com/profile.php?username=dani to www.site.com/dani/
