Im not sure I quire understand. Are you talking about programming links such as "
When you make a subdomain, you don't need to modify anything, it just starts working without any issues.

yes, i'm talking about programing links, not subdomains on servers just a url link that know how to separate the url that a persone wrote and transfer him to the directory that he suuposed to go, like http://example.mysite.com will go to http://www.mysite.com/example/index.html

Why not just setup a rewrite rule or a perm redirect via the .htaccess file?

That is a set of instructions contained in a text file at the main level of your domain on the site. It instructs Apache as to how to handle certain requests.

Here, for example, is a typical .htaccess file for a popular radio show site:

 
order allow,deny
deny from all 


RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{http_host} ^theparacast\.com [nc]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.theparacast.com/$1 [R=permanent,nc,L]

Redirect /forums/ http://forum.theparacast.com/

Redirect /forum/ http://forum.theparacast.com/

Redirect /smf/ http://forum.theparacast.com/

Redirect /list/mail.cgi/ http://www.theparacast.com/cgi-bin/list/mail.cgi/

The ReWrite command in this case automatically takes requests for theparacast.com and redirects them to the "www" alternative. That assists in search engine ranking, since everything is being processed via a single URL.

The intent of the other four are pretty obvious. They simply take one request and move it to another.
