route 53 or Dns record

[karthikeyan p]

i have two users  -> ONE and TWO

www.example.com/welcome/default/index/ONE => if i poster args ONE ,it will show user ONE's page

www.example.com/welcome/default/index/TWO => if i poster args TWO,it will show user TWO's page

i want to do :

one.example.com => to show user ONE's page.

two.example.com => to show user TWO's page.

i know that the url prefix record will be added to DNS record.

i have a domain in godaddy ,they provide api to do this programmatically.

if a user signed up in my page i want to make their name as prefix of my dns . (except ftp ,www. smtp etc)

any idea ?? any altenatives ?

I was about to do this before I gave up on aws because of costs.

So I don't know exactly what have to be done.

But what I think you have to do is:

-use aws api or cli to insert the record on route53 dns

-add the respective entry on routes.py on web2py folder

 for this maybe you want to store a list of domains in a separate file, a yaml file for example and modify routes.py to read the domains configuration from it

 a yaml or plain text file will be easier to parse and feed

-force web2py to reload routes

 maybe hiting the url on the button we click in admin, or calling the required function internally (I don't know the function now)

Can i do it with pythonanywhere.com if i am a paid user??

I have api and program to add/delete/edit dns record in godaddy 

If it is possible to make it with pythonanywhere.com , i am happy somuch

[Carlos Costa]

It is not possible withou hiring extra web apps.

Pythonanywhere requires on web app per subdomain or domain.

I move recently to pythonanywhere, because of aws costs.

I am happy with evertything in pythonanywhere, unless with this topic.

I had to give up the subdomain per user strategy.

I moved to a single url strategy in wich I setup on main app as central authentication.

My problem is I have one DB for each account and that was too easy to achieve with sudbomains.

hai carlos costa , i have an idea for that , i have domain registered with godaddy , go daddy subdomain forwarding is unlimited and its free too . you can add like this 
in subdomain section add subdomainname as user1 , target url is your.pythonanywhere.com/welcome/default/index/user1 , when user1.yourdomain.com is called you can redirect to  your.pythonanywhere.com/welcome/default/index/user1 

this is my current technique . one good thing is, you have api for adding subdomain to your dns registry in godaddy.

[Carlos Costa]

That's good! Not perfect, since after the user is redirected, the URL gets ugly anyway.

But is quite good.

My domains are not registered in godaddy, but I can migrate to it some day.

Thanks for sharing.
