Nice site.

One question - How do you handle the auto-creation of user-specified subdomains ? (I ask as I'd like to do something similar)

Do you run your own DNS or do you update records at your DNS provider ? (If the latter how do you automate that process ?)

View on HN

if you have a wildcard in dns records, you can effectively make it a fallback, so thats how our something.orgu.com addresses get mapped to an IP. however, we do allow tld's, we handle that by hosting our own instance of PowerDNS, which is great (u can use mysql with it)
