I need to automatically create a user subdomain when the user signup to a new account. Each user will have a different folder. For example.
/html/user1 /html/user2
Should work like this:
user1.domain.com user2.domain.com
Should be great if just creating a new folder will be enough to automatically make it work and available the subdomain.
We are using nginx for having better performance with our app.
How we can accomplish this?, need to change something in the DNS also?
Step by step answer will be very appreciate. Thanks!

To add a new subdomain you will want to:
1.) Create the new subdomain in the DNS section of the control panel and point it to your droplet’s IP address.
2.) Create your new folder on your droplet and load your web files to that location.
3.) Create a new file in /etc/nginx/sites-enabled for your new subdomain. You can use /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default as a template. This guide will help with the specifics.
4.) Restart Nginx for your changes to take effect:
service nginx restart
