Do we Support Wildcard Subdomains

Yes, 4xhost Hosting supports wildcard DNS for subdomains.

Wildcard subdomains (same as Wildcard DNS) allow you to point all the existing and non-existing subdomains to a specific file folder in your cPanel account. Wildcard subdomains are useful for multisite web applications (like WordPress multisite), speeding up propagation, and allowing your subdomains to show the same content as your main website.

If a wildcard subdomain is enabled on your account, non-existing subdomains like support.4xhost.com, or existing ones like admin.4xhost.com, will display the same content. A wildcard subdomain is specified by using an asterisk * as part of a domain name. For example, if your main domain is 4xhost.com, then the wildcard subdomain will be *.4xhost.com. This feature is available only for domains whose DNS is hosted with us (pointed to our NameServers).

Follow these steps to create a Wildcard Subdomain:

Log in to cPanel.

In the Domains section of the cPanel, click Domains.

Create A New Domain.

1. In the ain, type an asterisk * symbol, signifying that you are creating a wildcard subdomain. Other fields will automatically generate a path for your wildcard subdomain. You can change the directory by typing the full path in the Document Root text box.

2. Click Submit. You will receive a success message to confirm the subdomain was set up.

    

The record will be automatically added to your domain’s DNS entry after this has been done,

You can then look up any properly formed subdomain and havegh it might take a couple of hours to propagate. If the cPanel server does not manage the root domain's DNS, the wildcard subdomains' A record will need to be manually added to the DNS zone on the server that manages the root domain's DNS.
