Wildcard DNS, what is it and how do I use it?

Wildcard DNS makes it so that any subdomain redirects to your main website.

So, if anyone types randomjunk.domain.com or fakename.domain.com, it will go to http://domain.com/ .

You can add this record via cPanel by following these steps:

• Go into your cPanel, go to Subdomains.
• Add a subdomain called *
• Make sure to set the document root to your public_html folder.

The process is mostly the same for an addon domain; however, there is one major difference:

• Go into your cPanel, go to Subdomains.
• Add a subdomain called *
• Make sure to set the document root to match the document root of the addon domain. This can be found inside of your cPanel Addon Domain's area. 

If attempting to add a wild card subdomain for one of your addon domains, using the first set of steps will cause some issues with proper resolution. As always, if you have any questions, please contact our support agents and we'll be glad to assist you with getting this properly setup.
