    I want to create a new account which manages a domain and ALL its subdomains.

    If my domain is ab.xy, I'd like to create it with domain "*.ab.xy". I know it's not allowed, but what's the best/official way to do this?

    I'm creating a site which has a short domain and allows users to shorten any URL. But it won't return common short URL in format ab.xy/asdf but instead asdf.ab.xy. I want all subdomain to be handled by this same cPanel account and my PHP script will detect full URL/subdomain so it knows where to redirect.

    Thanks for your help.

    You should be able to create a wildcard subdomain in cPanel > Subdomains area using *.ab.xy as the subdomain name.

    You should also be able to use mod_rewrite rules in the account's /home/username/public_html/.htaccess file to perform redirects to that wildcard name. Of note, here username would be the cPanel account username.
