    Dynamic Subdomain Affiliate Link Requirements:
    Access to your DNS records
    You will need to be able to edit your DNS or name server records to enable dynamic subdomains.
    Access to your Apache Web Server Configuration File
    You will need to be able to edit your Apache's httpd.conf file to enable dynamic subdomains.
    Steps to Enable Dynamic Subdomain Affiliate Links:
    Edit Your Name Server / DNS Records - You will need to enter a wildcard subdomain entry for your DNS records. If you use BIND as your name server, it would go as the last line on your DNS record as follows:
    @ IN SOA ns1.jrox.com. admin.jrox.com. (
    4 ; serial
    8H ; refresh
    2H ; retry
    2W ; expire
    1D ; default_ttl
    )
    IN A 192.168.1.233
    IN NS ns1.jrox.com.
    IN NS ns2.jrox.com.
    www IN A 192.168.1.233
    * IN A 192.168.1.233
    Edit Your Apache httpd.conf file - You will need to edit your httpd.conf file and add a ServerAlias entry near the bottom of your Virtual Host record as follows:
    <VirtualHost 255.255.255.0>
    DocumentRoot /home/username/public_html
    ServerName www.domain.com
    ServerAlias domain.com
    ServerAlias *.domain.com
    </VirtualHost>
    Set the Affiliate Link Type - Click on Settings > Global Configuration > Marketing > Affiliate Marketing > Affiliate Link Type > Subdomain
    Reserve subdomains - If you have subdomains you don't want users to signup for, enter them in Settings > Global Configuration > Marketing > Affiliate Marketing > Affiliate Link Type > Restrictred Subdomains
     and even it can apply to organizations also

    organization.website.com

    • Subdomains can be useful for some setups where each profile is an isolated environment, but for a typical site it can be a nightmare. Search engines will treat each profile as a separate site, some content will be duplicated across main domain and subdomains due to browsing pages, whole relative links structure of the site will go belly up, ... oh some many things would happen it’s hard to even think about it :D
