 * I don’t think you’ve fixed this. A copy of an email I just sent using your plugin
   produced:
 * > I\\\\\\\’ve only tested sending this to site admins.

 * Just thought I’d chime in here. This thread was quite useful to me, as I’m a 
   Dreamhost customer on shared hosting. I can confirm that Andrea’s instructions
   about the subdomain worked like a charm, but I thought I’d flesh out the details
   of what I did.
 * While DH has a custom hosting panel, I’d imagine that cpanel on other hosts should
   work fine. If you are looking to run WordPress 3.0 multi-site with subdomains
   on a DH shared hosting account, follow these instructions (at least they worked
   for me):
    1. Make sure your primary domain is setup first on your host and that you have 
       WP installed.
    2. Set up your network for multi-site and subdomains and ensure you edit wp-config
       and .htaccess as per the info WP 3.0 provides for you during setup.
    3. If you get the WP error message about wildcard subdomains, ignore it and continue.
    4. As Andrea said, **before you set up any sites on your network, get the directory
       location for your primary domain as you will need to point all of your subdomains
       to this location on your host**.
    5. Ensure you set up a subdomain on your host for any you plan on setting up through
       WP, and point it to your main domain directory.
    6. Allow enough time for the subdomain to propagate and then test that it resolves
       to your main domain first.
    7. Once your subdomain resolves successfully, set up your site with the same subdomain
       in WP. It should now work fine.
 * The only extra hassle is that you have to set up the subdomain first on your 
   host and then set up the same site from within WP, but it’s better than having
   to move to VPS and pay a lot for it if you’re only looking to have a few sites
   managed through WP 3.0.
