hello arksi,
i think to have a read at http://httpd.apache.org/docs/misc/rewriteguide.html is a big move.
after that, i think you'll have insight in how to use apache mod_rewrite for your website.
have a try!!

I actually use something similiar for a script, however I was able to do it without htaccess files.

Code:

$url = $_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"];
list ($host, $domain, $suffix) = split ("\.", $url, 3);

The only tricky part is if someone uses a www.SOMETHING.yourdomain.com, but I added a if/then to just say if they did that then to use the $domain as the $host.
