I was unsuccessful setting up the wildcard from total DNS Control. I called godaddy again and they told me that I need to have a dedicated IP for this type of action. Ugg, how’s that for fundamental?
I can try to set this up with David’s method but that would require reconfiguring the install. Not sure what that includes but it sounds complicated. I think I’m going to look into a higher end webhost before I break my back (or spend more money) to make it work with godaddy.
Again, thanks for everyones help on this!
Thanks guys! This is very helpful. The shroud of mystery is lifting 🙂
I’m using GoDaddy to host my site and their support says, “You can add Wildcard subdomains. However, these must be set as A Records, as CNAME wildcards are not supported”.
I feel like I should be preparing myself for a period of grief. The way I understand it is that CNAME records and aliases are synonymous, and the Apache record is different and controlled outside of the DNS Control Panel. Does that sound right?
Right now I only have the A record wildcard. Can I still make it work with this webhost?
