CommentHow does Hashnode achieve the subdomain system?

Hey Wachira

Thanks for the nice words! Subdomain feature is rather simple. Our Caddy server looks for requests with host *.hashnode.dev and we then extract the username from it. Then it's just a matter of finding out the path and serving the right content for that username and path combo. Does that answer your question?

You have to believe in things that are not true. How else would they become?

wachira_dev thatʼs a more interesting question. There are DNS servers, even providers who can do that for you. The search term is catch all DNS or wildcard DNS.
