The Wildcard DNS Record is used to match requests for non-existent domain names. Wildcard DNS Record is specified by using a "*" as the leftmost label (part) of a domain name, e.g. *.example.com. The Wildcard Record has the following look in your ClouDNS Control Panel:
| Host | Type | Points to: | TTL |
| *.hostname.com | A | ip.of.your.website | 1 Hour |
| *.hostname.com | AAAA | ipv6:of:your:web::site | 1 Hour |
| *.hostname.com | MX | your.mx.server | 1 Hour |
| *.hostname.com | TXT | TXT Record | 1 Hour |
| *.hostname.com | CNAME | example.com | 1 Hour |
| *.hostname.com | ALIAS | example.com | 1 Hour |
| *.hostname.com | WR | http://example.com | 1 Hour |
Go to your Control Panel and click on “Add new record”. Type, as follow:
Type: A, AAAA, MX, TXT, CNAME, ALIAS or WR
TTL: 1 Hour
Host: *
Points to: (resource you need to setup - IP/hostname/something else)
Note: A Wildcard Record can be added only for A (or AAAA), MX, TXT, CNAME, ALIAS or Web Redirect.
We are supporting Wildcard DNS records not only for the root domain name (example.com) but for the subdomains too. Example setup for the wildcard record *.sub.example.com:
Type: A, AAAA, MX, TXT, CNAME, ALIAS or WR
TTL: 1 Hour
Host: *.sub
Points to: (resource you need to setup - IP/hostname/something else)
