I'm looking for a way to server my pages by category name. So for example I have Cellphones as the category . I then want the URL to be cellphone.mystore.com. How would I make this possible?
You could create a Website via "System"->"Manage Stores"; "Create Website...".
When attaching a "Store Group" to it, you could make the category Cellphone to the Root Category
of this group.
Be sure to set the new Base URL
for this website only from within "System"->"Configuration"->"General"->"Web"->"Insecure".
This only works for Root Categories
btw.

1Note that site scopes add to processing and indexing overhead. If there are a lot of categories, this will become an issue. – benmarks Jul 30 '13 at 14:36
foo.com
with two categories and an overall SE value of 8/10, the same site split intocat1.foo.com
andcat2.foo.com
would effectively split the value between the two sites. – benmarks Jul 30 '13 at 15:18
