Hi rob Thanks for your reply
but is there any other idea or reference

Wordpress.com (and most WPMU installations), if I’m not mistaken, employ wildcard DNS settings. Unfortunately, wildcard dns can cause some issues if not implemented correctly, the most common being the server mistaking a real directory for a dynamic one. If this isn’t a problem (it wasn’t for me), you generally contact your host (or if you’re on a private server with apache, edit your httpd.conf and add *.domain.com. IN A <ip.address> with your information.

Then do a .htaccess redirect as normal, this time allowing for a dynamic subdomain. As an example, here’s the one I used for one of my projects:

Code:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([^.]+).zeisu.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %1 !^(www|ftp|mail|admin|mysql)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^.*$ index.php?c=usercp&m=viewProfile&url=%1 [L]

That’s about the gist of it (Dreamhost set up the wildcard dns, so I’m sorry I couldn’t be more help there, but a google search on the subject should do the trick) and good luck with your project.
