Why would you need catch all subdomains

Maybe you have a few subdomains. But sometimes your visitors are accessing non-existing subdomains. So the best solution would be to either redirect them to your main website or at least show them a list of available pages.
Here comes the catch-all subdomain : There you can either configure Apache that it redirects all accesses to the main webpage (via 301, as written e.g. in this article Migrate domain names with .htaccess ) or just have a static (or dynamic, of course) page displayed to the user.
