I am aware of these things and can do that but i will require access to root, right? Using .htaccess to allow example.com/user using mod_rewrite has already been thought but i only want user.example.com..

As i know, i can create a sub domain using php and cPanel API only but that will really create a sub domain which will create a security threat. I want the same functionality as wordpress.com provides like when you create a blogging account with user id 'xxx', it gives you a url named as xxx.wordpress.com At this point after reading your comments i suppose i will have to do this using htaccess only. But if you have some better suggestions please do post that..
